Grade 6?!? I had to wait to grade 10 in my high school till the teachers
thought we students were finally mature enough to properly handle and treat
with respect such a powerful machine as the 4016 PET computer!. After all, you
couldn't touch the electronic typewriters until the second semester of grade 9!

I second that! I remember being in grade 6 and using a PET in my sisters'
classroom. The teacher (Mr. West) taught me to type in:
M 0000 FFFF
and I'd just watch all the numbers scroll by! LOL! Then he let me play
Miner 49er! :oP

I had my own and wouldn't mind seeing it again. Keeping the P in TPUG is a
good thing.
