Preparing young Queenslanders for life in the 1990s, we saw personal computers make their way into schools during the 80s with a strong focus on health, regional education and the arts by Queensland Education.
The photographic unit at the Premier’s Department, Office of State Affairs, captured a snapshot of various events, programmes and initiatives for school children throughout Queensland. This collection contains several arts, music and drama as well as students participating in computer usage.
In the early 1980s, several different computer manufacturers were vying for a foothold in the education market, Apple, Tandy, Atari, Sinclair, Amstrad, Microbee and many others. By 1985 Apple Macintosh was considered a standard system (alongside several others) for all states except Western Australia which adopted the BBC Model B and Microbee computer systems as a standard.

Following previous examples, this again shows that BBC caption writers still cannot spell simple words, with the word OLYMPICS appearing on screen several times a day. The problem seems to lie chiefly with BBC2, a particularly grotesque example being this one:
Well, my black iPhone is going for gold as it seems, judging by the amount of blogposts being written about it (and it's online for ...16 hours), but here's one I didn't see coming. I'm quoted on the BBC news/technology page... (and judging by the amount of traffic I get, it seems this is a highly visited page (understatement)) ^_^
Casualty being filmed on the Road To Nowhere, Westerleigh Common on 8th May 2009. This photo makes it look like I was hiding in the bushes, OK, I admit it, something I often do on Westerleigh Common...
I recognise the lad on the right, he usually wears glasses I think, but I have no idea what his name is.
The episode was shown on BBC1 on Saturday, 19th September 2009.
The BBC Microcomputer System, or BBC Micro, was a series of microcomputers and associated peripherals designed and built by Acorn Computers Ltd for the BBC Computer Literacy Project operated by the British Broadcasting Corporation.

I nearly went for the Apple IIe but glad I didn't.

These are the machines which fired my technolust.
While at college in the early Eighties, I bought several books and learned to program 6502 assembler, had a vast collection of 5 1/4 inch floppies, played around with basicode (downloading it over the air via broadcast radio) - all without even owning a computer!
Trust me kids, wi-fi is nothing new. These babies kickstarted my interest in transmitting Sinclair Spectrum computer programs via citizen's band radio using the inbuilt ROM routines, (an early form of packet radio data transmission - five miles farthest distance was my record on the Speccy), which led to obtaining a ham radio licence and indulging in tons of internet geekery. Happy Days.
