Kida on a IIe

A nine year old kid I take care of a lot said he’d like to try one of those computers with the big keys. I was unsure what he meant so I showed him a pic of a IIe. Whereupon he said “That’s the one”. So I brought over a IIe with mouse, joystick, DuoDisk and  ColorMonitor IIe. All the kids weren’t there but the 11 and 9 year old played a number of games. The 4 year old did well enough with Blazzing Paddles but poorly with the games. The 2 year old demonstrated a total lack of ability but  enjoyed trying everything. There’s no room there but I’ll leave the IIe there for a couple of days. I’d like to see how the 6 year old is with a drawing program. She’s the artistic one in the family.

 
I have those programs somewhere in storage but lack the time to look right now. There's not a lot of spare room there so I'll leave the IIe until the weekend. I'll bring it back after new years. By then I'll be better prepared I hope.

 
I have DazzleDraw somewhere. I'll see about getting some more software over to the IIe. Between them the kids spent about 8 hours on the IIe yesterday so I guess I'm not taking it home tonight. They won't use it much today as it's super busy with martial arts classes and dance. I'll leave it there another week.
