This is kinda OT, but 25 or 30 years ago when I was teaching the
California school systems were pushing Commodore 64 and a little later
the 128s.  I was fresh from the music teacher job to classroom.  It was
a bunch cheaper than the Apples and I'm pretty sure I only knew Bill
Gates from his name on tape programs for the Vic 20s we had in our
"computer lab".  I thought they were a pretty good system and a school
district in SoCal (Perris High School) got a big grant to have a
siphistcated attendance program written in MCP.  Whatever happened to
the Commodore company and MCP?
