Its no big deal, usb in drive boot to it watch the screen, connect to internet. Once its on 37 questions… inside leg measure, hat size, name of first animal… ok not quite, just the usual stuff on email, screen colour… etc.
Never got windows 1, we chose GEM for our desktop environment, cannot remember why. I was teaching at a college but we had no technicians so had to teach students how to do it as part of the course. We had mainly apple in the office teaching areas, they were just plug and go.
My own teaching rooms, we installed network DOS, that replaced CPM, or CCPM machines.
The room I hated was a BBC network of BBC model B, I never really understood the networking and printing was a nightmare, lucky I had a student who took to it so made him responsable which he loved. Teaching BASIC !
Those like me who avoided that by working with early computers have a different handicap… we have old habits entrenched and find it difficult to learn new tricks.
That can be both an advantage and a disadvantage but we do tend to be conservstive and think before we act.
Thats the important part, for me its a still learning curve, sometimes handicapped by language… why in terminal does Y not work ? Because its french so it O (oui) at least N functions the same (no or non)
