    I was in grade school in the 90s but we still used Macintosh IIs in computer lab in our rural Indiana school. I remember playing Oregon Trail, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, and a platform/board game involving Alice In Wonderland. There was also a game where you were a pizza delivery man in a top down mode. It was very fun to try and get the top score in computer class. I remember the sounds of the various sized floppys and the dot matrix printers with a big box of paper on the floor.

    By the time I was graduating High School in '02 we had Windows PCs and could surf the internet and play games like pool on Yahoo.com. The connection was still dial-up though and we still used floppys to save papers we were writing for class.

    It was a big deal when the library got a couple of iMacs around the time they came out.
