                 programs have been done on time sharing terminals
                 connected via modems, phones, and phone lines to the
                 university ``central'' computer. As anyone who has ever
                 conducted such a demonstration knows, this approach is,
                 to say the least, unreliable. It is not uncommon for
                 professors standing in front of their classes to find
                 that one of the elements in the electronic path from
                 the keyboard to the computer and back to the monitors
                 has failed or that the response time of the central
                 computer is now measured in minutes instead of seconds.
                 The result is that the students, while they may be
                 entertained, certainly lose the value of the
                 ``on-line'' demonstration. This paper discusses an
                 alternative approach to classroom demonstrations-namely
                 the use of the microcomputers.",
