I don't know about your wintel machines, but the last few Dells I've used at work complain that my USB 2.0 device can work faster by using a USB 2.0 port. *Even though it is plugged into a USB 2.0 port* according to the Device Manager
Oh god memories. My school had a class in the computer room... not sure I'd call it IT.
Covered basic word and excel. The teacher was a nice guy but only one lesson ahead of the students. I remember explaining things like DNS and https to him.
Whereas mine had a computer in the classroom. One single Wang mini-computer in the Math teacher's class. As I recall (this would have been in '74 or '75) we didn't have any programming classes, it was 'play with it and learn it yourself'. Previously we had a teletype linked to the minicomputer in the Tri-County Intermediate Unit. Program storage on paper tape.
The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it. -- E. Hubbard
