    --- TIC-TECH message:
    About 80% of our schools used Mac's for the first years of the old Tech
    levy. There was tons of MECC applications that the district bought. Many
    of the schools were using the old Mac software up to a couple of years ago
    (when I lost track). So, there should be a lot of it out there. How about
    cleaning out the closets for old Mac LC software?
