Our school in Armstrong of all places, was chosen as the test bed in Canada for the then brand new Apple computers, they came in the year before I was in high school if I remember right. Then the scool was chosen again as a test bed for Canada when the Mac computers came into the market. Yup, nothing like wearing out the keyboards of the old Apple computers playing games that you were not supposed to and needing 5 discs to load them into the two drives.

How about Camrose? I think when you drive into town there is a sign that says "....Where Albertans go to die"

I remember the VIC-20, or Commodore 64---I used to write programs using Basic on the 64.

10 IF A= then GOTO 30
20 RUN
30 "HELLO"

Or somthing like that...it was pretty basic and easy. A freind of mine got to 2000 lines on a program he made. Lots of fun to pass the time.
