Thanks for that comment! And it’s always the same: the people with a historical perspective that doesn’t match the popular opinion get downvoted for spreading knowledge.
To go on a bit of a tangent here, Lemmy lets you hide scores on posts. I’ve had that set for a while and it’s nice to not get that bias before reacting to a post
Windows…in the late 80s was widely considered to be a joke
Nothing has changed.
Monopoly was & is the same joke.
Every fucking shopping concrete labels anything pop over it for the same delusional humor about thinking that not-paper is real any less than the any Mani Mani.
Windows was never the default in classrooms in the 80’s, that was Apple. First with the Apple II.
Windows didn’t even exist until 1985 and wasn’t widely adopted until 3.0/3.1 in the 90s.
Windows 386 in the late 80s was widely considered to be a joke:

Pretty sure that CBM, especially the Commodore Pet, was the default in classrooms in the 80s not Apple.
I hit first grade in 80 and never saw anything but Apple… At least until college
While the PET was the first computer I ever used, we only had 4 of them (and only 1 with a tape drive! Hope you type fast!)
Compared to entire rooms of Apple IIs.
