I didn't want to give up on it, but I just didn't have any place to keep it and there wasn't any place to sell a broken computer that was already almost 20 years old.

I seem to recall it being slightly better than the Apple II+, and probably 99% compatible.

I wonder what ever happened to the ones the school had. Probably trashed.
