for me, my school district is split in such a way that by high school i had been in four different buildings and the jumps between them lined up quite perfectly:

grades 1-4  - those school macs
grades 5-6  - ibm ps/2 model 25
grades 7-8  - fully win95, pretty sure they were dell optiplex machines.
              still required to buy floppy disks for storing schoolwork
grades 9-12 - citrix winframe, our personalized desktop and storage 'roamed'
              with our login, software access based on what classes we were
              in, etc

that's a pretty insane leap in technology..
