I think this is great. My young granddaughter has been working with an Apple //e 8 bit computer. For her, it is about right. Command line, but simpler in her case, running programs... She loves numbers and will use calculators and apps. Reading will take a bit more, but she is getting there. Showing the young people basics like this is high value. They will have context and perspective similar to what we have.

I have an old Apple ][ as well and my kids like playing around on it from time to time. The best thing about it is you can’t break it. If something goes wrong they just turn it off and turn it back on. I’m also not worried they are going to delete all my iCloud photos or wipe my work drive or see something inappropriate on the internet.

  Exactly. Same here. I have a CFFA 3000 card in mine, so they have a whole bunch of stuff to run and play with
