Ah the halcyon days before they replaced O'level CS with GCSE IT.
I unfortunately had to do the latter in the early 90's and was much peeved that the entire two year course consisted of typing letters in MS Works on MSDOS4.01 286 machines. 
I was actually shocked and sort of saddened to hear that UK schools no longer have a proper CS track/module.
Who was the genius behind swapping learning how to code for learning how to use MS Office? That guy definitely needs a blue plate on his house that reads "Here lived the guy that turned a nation of David Brabens into a nation of Mavis Beacons and Clippies."
