Elementary school in Winnipeg, we started Kindergarten using the Apple IIe, which was replaced the following year by the Macintosh Classic. We used those all the way until junior high, when we were finally introduced to computers with COLOUR screens courtesy of the Macintosh Performa. High school, we started with original iMac G3s but those of us who took CompSci after grade 9 were treated to Wintel machines with C, C++, and VB6 IDEs. CompApps classes still ran with Mac.
Fun point about VBA macros, there was a piece of nannyware on the Wintel machines called 'Foolproof Security'. It was basically group policies on steroids (it ran in kernel mode) and prevented you from changing any sort of settings whatsoever, including setting the screen resolution back to something reasonable when Windows arbitrarily decided 640x480 was more than anybody needed. But you could fire up Word and write a VBA macro that would delete the boot driver for Foolproof, which would then leave the system wide open. Any time I'd use a machine that was running Foolproof, I'd "liberate" it.
