 From Wikipedia*: "Throughout the 1980s and much of the 1990s, the Apple 
II was the de facto standard computer in American education; some of 
them are still operational in classrooms today.

...

The first Apple II computers went on sale on June 6, 1977[2] with a MOS 
Technology 6502 microprocessor running at 1 MHz, 4 kB of RAM, an audio 
cassette interface for loading programs and storing data, and the 
Integer BASIC programming language built into the ROMs."

Heh... while I never used the original model, most of the schools where 
I lived used IIe's or later.  As the article says, there are *still* 
schools around that have labs full of them.
