This Easter, I’m paying my respects to Mr Jones, my primary school teacher who broke the school’s rules to let my friends and I mess with an ancient Apple IIe while the rest of the class did religion studies.

School policy at the time was to prevent secular kids from doing anything productive, lest we “get a leg up” on our peers.

(When my mum was first diagnosed, he was also the kindest person ever, because of course he was).

Wishing him all the best, wherever he is! I’m back there with him today typing on my current Apple IIe. ♡
