@BasicAppleGuy for me it was walking into a room of TRS-80s. We had one Mac in the back of the room.

Fuck That. These stupid colorful pieces of
of shit that crashed constantly and pretended like you could edit video on them but really, no you fucking could not. Tortured me during senior year. No Mac I ever encountered during school did anything but make me hate Apple forever. -

@BasicAppleGuy Mine (in high school) were Windows 3.11 PCs (later upgraded to Win95) on a Novel Intranetware network and a few sad IIc's and a single Mac running system 7.
My 9th grade typing class was on IBM Selectric and Apple II.

@BasicAppleGuy @jblake I’m way too old to have seen this in person, but wow!
(Think more Apple ][ era in secondary school)
Still pretty mindblown then.
@octothorpe @BasicAppleGuy @jblake yeah my secondary school had a single Apple IIe when I arrived, and I had to jump through hoops to get access to it! By the time I left we also had a lab with a handful of BBC micros and ZX spectrums, which was awesome! (my previous school had a solitary Research Machines 380Z!)

@BasicAppleGuy Mine was a single TRS-80 Model I brought in by a teacher, grade 4, best day ever, literally one of those comic book origin story moments.
Then a room full (half dozen?) of them and some CoCos in grades 5-8, then Apple IIs & Model IIIs in grade 9. Then my shit school gave up on teaching computing, but I had my own.

@BasicAppleGuy Mine was a room full of Apple //e boxen. In college it was seeing a roomful of Mac IIci's with portrait displays.

@chrisgervais @BasicAppleGuy Closest I had to a computer lab was in my final two years of school - about 20 Hitachi Peach MB-6890.

@BasicAppleGuy The fun part was setting up a G3 Server and network to NetBoot them all.
Mac OS X Server 1.2 (Platinum Interface, including the “true blue environment”), NetBooting the iMacs into Mac OS 8.1-9.2.2.
Or the same era: Re-Imaging those iMacs from the Server using Netrestore. (Could be multicast netrestore).
Those were the times…. -

@BasicAppleGuy
The room of original Acorn Archimedes at our school was similar, I think. -
