You never know what "treasures" will be discovered in school cabinets at end-of-year clean-up time. Today's gem - an Apple IIc desktop computer (circa 1984). When loading an Apple program floppy disk into the disk drive (the 5 1/4" disk - a true FLOPPY disk), the glowing green sceen prompted the user to enter today's date. I guess the IIc's of the future were not meant to include the 21st century since the 2008 date we typed in kept reverting to 1996.
Mr. C was thrilled with the discovery and quickly whisked the machine to his classroom where it's sure to be the source of much discussion (and play).
