By the early 1990s most families (in my upper middle class milieu) had PCs. Minority had something else instead-Macs and Amigas most commonly. 9 year old me started using Windows 3.0 in 1991, when it was still quite rare in the home. My dad pirated from his work, which were adopting it. But by 1994 or so I was seeing Windows 3.x everywhere (mostly 3.1 or WfW 3.11 instead of 3.0) I went to three different primary schools. First one (1987-1991) had Apple IIs; second one (1991-1992) had one computer lab containing IBM PC JXs running DOS (the JX was a derivative of the PCjr only sold in Japan, Australia and NZ), another with Acorns, and classrooms had a mix of Apple IIGS and 8-bit Apple II; third one (1993), our classroom had a C64 and an Acorn, and I know some other classrooms had Macs. Secondary school (1994-1999) was all PCs and Acorns. I think all the PCs ran Windows 3.x (later in 1990s newer machines got Windows 95), and most were in Windows nearly all the time. The exception was the machines in the CAD lab, which probably had Windows installed, but our CAD software only ran under DOS, so Windows was rarely used on them. Around 1997 or so people were throwing out old 8-bit machines like crazy. I went to the school fair and bought a pile of Apple IIs and C64s for $5 each. Unfortunately my dad made me get rid of them all because he didn’t like the clutter.
