    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:

      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

      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.

      Pretty sure that CBM, especially the Commodore Pet, was the default in classrooms in the 80s not Apple.
