For some reason they had all the school markets captured though. All throughout the 80s and up to the mid-90s, when I was growing up, it was all nothing but Apple IIs and Macs everywhere. The few DOS/Win 3.0 machines I saw were Novell Netware workstations for the teachers to use.

Now I guess they're all chromebooks.
