Dad introducing computers in 1980/1

I’ve been thinking of Dad today unsurprisingly. And just found a new to me 1981 Southern Reporter newspaper reference to him. He was very actively involved with introducing computers to Scottish Borders schools. Christmas 1980 he borrowed an Apple II to try at home in Melrose, and that was my first go with a computer. This newspaper article was the following summer, 2 July 1981.
