Haha - yeah, I think you nailed it there. Although in the early 90s I certainly never lacked the software I needed: programming, games, music making, word processing, bitmap graphics, vector drawing and CAD, ray tracing, fractals, basic utilities, even a bit of DTP. Picked up so much stuff from magazine cover disks back in the day (I was still at school so had very little cash). That being said, my requirements as a GCSE (and somewhat as an A-level) pupil are perhaps a bit different from what they are today. In some ways they were perhaps greater and more demanding, in others less.
