[Year 12 IT Apps] Unit 4 2011: RDBMS Part 2 or Spreadsheets

Thu Nov 11 11:42:42 EST 2010

I have an 80s retro computer text from secondary school- might be time to
dust it off, clean the cobwebs and digitise it for use on the IWB.
Covers Swipe Cards, together with Basic for creating a coloured line across
the screen, vertically, horizontally or diagonally.  Actually has some
really trendy 80s hair styles too.
