I was wondering this same thing. It seems very plausible and there are slight murmurs about e.g. webrings etc coming back in style with some artist groups.

Apparently one touched down in Scotts Valley today and messed up quite a bit of stuff ... and injured a fire crew chief whose vehicle was one of several that got tossed upside down.

I kind of wonder what would have been different for a generation of kids across California (or even just the bay area / silicon valley of all places) if they had access to actual '84-'94 era computers in that era.

An extra weird aspect to this is that I lived all of ~six blocks from Woz. He, out of his own money IIRC, paid to install / update the computers in the neighboring school system. Just a weird piece of California computing history from my perspective.

Secondly, there I was as a kid in the mid-nineties staying after school because the science teacher left the "computer lab" open for an additional 30-45 minutes so we could program things on _the same_ Apple ][e's that surely had showed up a decade prior.

For one, outside of Oregon Trail (and like that alien math game) us kids were not allowed to play with the computers (learn how they work, program them, etc). They were expensive after all. What if the kids break them!? All those computers and it ended up just being another way to teach arithmetic.

What always comes to mind when I see the dates on this era of computer technology is that, seemingly, there was this big push to get computers (Apple ][e’s) into schools somewhere in the 80s (at least in California). The Oregon Trail generation! But, there were two very weird/sad aspects to that...

Seriously. They also seem to actually be socially unacceptable on top of being lame. The billiards one for instance... it's like... look how easy it is to be a poseur now!
