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

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

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.

I hit first grade in 80 and never saw anything but Apple... At least until college

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.
