The software purchased by schools is not at all like the software you are selling. The schools need software that is designed to meet the needs of the curriculum, and most of it comes from the textbook publishers. Teachers get catalogs of the software available – and nearly all of it is available for the AppleII, IBM, even the older TRS80 and Commodore machines – some now for the MAC, but very little of it for the Amiga or other computers. Those textbook companies are not getting their huge list of course-related software re-written for the latest computers, and schools are going to buy things that relate to the subject being taught. It may not be the greatest software, but it DOES address the assigned topics. Yes, the software will still be there for the AppleII so long as schools are ordering it. Betty
