@veronica@stux My school got its first computer lab—with three Apple II’s between more than a thousand kids—too late for me to take a CS 'O' level much less aim to study CS at university.
@cstross@veronica@stux Oh wow. I still had those floppy disks in the late 1980s and early 90s. Our math teacher had written a learning program for us that he handed out on 5.25" floppies. :) And I was lucky enough to write my first articles for the students' newspaper back at school using some text program running on DOS. :)
