Exactly, the Macintosh used files! Sorry, that sentence was ambiguous—what I meant was, the adults who bought Macs in the 80s and 90s hadn't used files previously, because computers by-and-large didn't exist. They still got the hang of it on their Macs.
(If you meant something else with your example, and I'm still misunderstanding you, sorry!)
- qorrect 5y agoNo, but they did use physical files, and physical folders. Of course these students probably have also ( kids still use paper right? For notes at least ? )
- cdirkx 5y agoBut you (generally) don't recursively put your physical folder inside another folder.
- Wowfunhappy 5y agoDid you do that with filing cabinets in the 80s?
- mikewarot 5y agoYes, you had your filing cabinet, with sections in the drawer that was like a big folder that mounted on the rails, one per customer, then you had individual files inside of that, one per project, maybe even 2 levels of that, then the actual pages of paper.
