New at that time&nbsp;meant Apple IIe computers that we&nbsp;used&nbsp; with the Adaptive Firmware card&nbsp;allowing the use of switches, the&nbsp;unicorn keyboard or morse&nbsp;code for students who could not access the keyboard.&nbsp;The things we did were pretty primitive, but exciting, cutting edge&nbsp;assistive technology&nbsp;at the time. We both went on to have three kids and have continued in our respective careers. Recently she told me about her son's Mike's latest endeavor creating <a href="http://pushpoppress.com/about/">Push Pop Press</a>.
