Indeed ... I would have loved to have gone to that school! But by the
time I was in secondary school, things had moved on a bit.  I was in
second year when they got a room full of TRS-80 Model 1s.. never did
any lessons with them, but we could book time on them at lunch and
after school, which, armed with some early magazine type-ins, I did,
and that was it, I was hooked ...

Did everybody see this one:

we have to look forward to a computer terminal in every home!
