The lab at school had an equal number of macs and PC's, and the servers ran on Unix, and the graphics dept had toasters, I believe. So, we had a mix. Then if I go way, way, way back, tbh, I don't 'think' they were on Mac's, but I really cannot remember the type of PC it was, but we had Word Munchers(~85-87) on computers in school, when I lived in Florida for 2 years. |
Toasters are underrated, in my opinion.
My school was one of the poorest in a poor county and would actually cease being a high school two years after I left, so they spent no money on it and the Macs were really outdated. We learned how to do some Apple-ish programming but I remember none of it. I think the teacher kind of gave up on teaching anything meaningful on those machines, so mostly we just typed in some pre-written beginner code, watched the results, then played chess. I got really good at chess. By the end of the year, I had the teacher on the ropes but he stalled until class was over and said he was too busy to continue our game, which was lame.
So, yeah, I'm actually really happy that Apples in my class helped me get good at chess.
