Lemonade

Our first computer was that wonderful little Apple II-C ("C" for compact) which included a fun game called Lemonade. The children played it for hours, tweaking the variables -- price, weather, location, supply and demand -- to compete in a retail world of make-believe to having fun operating their lemonade stands. Adults tired of the game as quickly as tic-tac-toe but the kids never did. No one needed to tell them the main point...

When life gives you lemons...make lemonade.
