81-84 My school had TRS-80s (I and III) and some sort of Zenith (M/PM?)
system. There was nothing else (except in 84 the "business" (read typing)
department got an IBM PC. This might have something to do with the
fact that Radio Shack was the only place in town that sold computers.

Atleast 5 of us had computers at home (TI, C64, TRS-80, Sinclair). Thinking
about it we had a pretty good sampling of the early 80's pre-packaged
machines.
