Not school related but about 8 or 9 years ago one of the information channels of my cable tv provider was showing a static Workbench 2.x screen instead of the usual weather etc..

Just last night around 2am I saw a computer screen overlay on my sattelite TV system that had the text "DPaint" and some other text with it that I did not catch as I was looking away when it first appeared and it was only on the screen for a few seconds.

Could it be that there are still some Amiga computers in service at certain TV studios, or Cable/Sattelite TV stations?

Ever read the EULA that came with the Amiga computers? Hint... many Amiga developers were, well, hippies :)

You know someone that reads EULA? I mean personally?

Today I was shocked to learn my daughter's grade 4 classroom still has a couple of Amigas in it. ...


Was it a Mormon school? Amiga used to be the official CoLDS computer.

I know some C64 were used in classrooms as well.

I used C64s in my middle school English classroom from 1984 to about 2000.

Those were the days,
