Isn't it more likely that schools in Australia used the Microbee 32 and 128 
models? I don't know what they would have upgraded to in the 16-bit era and 
later, but perhaps PC compatibles took a bigger market share if there was 
little or no other competition.

How common were Acorn BBC and Archimedes computers in the Republic of 
Ireland? Canada? Hong Kong? :-)
