I find it nice to hear what's out there though; I don't care who owns what

Hmmm, I'd be interested to know that, too. My memory of the period was that 
hardly anyone could afford a BBC and maybe around 1 in 20 people who owned a 
home computer had one. Of course that doesn't help in saying what proportion 
went to schools...
