My experience is a lot more limited, but I have to say that the school I went to, being a bit posh, had 12-15 BBCs in one room (and a few more dotted about the place), but no Econet. And the only time I ever recall using a computer in an actual *class* (as opposed to dicking around on them at lunchtime) was playing a resource management game in Geography. On a Tatung Einstein, of all things. (We had quite a few Commodore PETs, too. I was about to say I'd love to know what happened to those, but on reflection I'm not sure I do. Probably ended up in a skip.) -- Duncan Snowden.
