Are you American? Macs were much less common in Europe and particularly in England. In fact England had its own educational computer in the 80s as a venture between then BBC and Acorn, the company that invented the original ARM CPUs.
- cronix 4y agoYes, this was in Portland, Oregon (and Beaverton)
- hnlmorg 4y agoInteresting. Just goes to show how regional differences vary so much back then. I had no idea schools were running Macs before today :)
- chasil 4y agoMacs were all over the University of Iowa in the early 90's, even in the college of engineering (the other half of the lab eventually was HP-UX).
- lproven 4y agoThey must be. Giveaways are things like "grade school" and "junior high" which do not exist anywhere else. Here on the Isle of Man, some schools did use 68K Macs at the end of the 1980s. Acorn and Apple even had a joint venture to sell into education together, called Xemplar: http://www.poppyfields.net/acorn/news/acopress/apple.shtml http://www.poppyfields.net/acorn/news/acopress/apple.shtml
