Sure, but for some odd reason, I happened to be attending a school in the Midwest where Windows 1.x was in use fairly early on. Of course, that same school district also had computers running CP/M, some Apple //s, and Macinto

Whether Kimball was fired from there depends on who you ask -- Kimball says he was fired, ATK's board claims he refused to continue to be involved, etc. Not a pretty situation; Wikipedia has more about it: https://en.wikiped
