Our own IT class was pretty much our teacher sat on the front desk reading the newspaper while everyone else browsed the internet.

That sounds like an utter waste of money.

Yeah, it was. To be honest I didn't complain about a free hour to goof around online back then... yet it would've been cool if he actually, ya know, taught us computer stuff.

when I was a child we had a computer class that was basically 'how to use windows 95'
because it was 1995. Good times.

I had Windows 95 figured out on my own soon enough - but I'll never forget how I stared at the computer for the first time when it looked so beeping different from 3.1
Then grandpa was actually the one who found out how to start a game. I think I spent a whole week doing nothing but Solitaire and Space Cadet on our new PC.

...I miss Space Cadet and Minesweeper.

They took Minesweeper out? o.o
*still has it here on Windows... uhwhat'sitagain... 7*

Yeah they did Death. Just like Nokia took out snake from their phones.

And call that progress. Why, world? WHY???

Yeah dude. We got to progress to our ends somehow. Removing minesweeper and snake is just one of the many tiny steps we got to take for the end to come. (8

they remove minesweeper and add 39048324892 types of solitaire u.u

that is not nearly enough types of solitaire

o-o *ahem*….
Mahjong. owo <3

I was learning Basic in 1984/85. On a Texas Instruments machine. With a cassette tape for data storage.

Pretty sure we're off this topic now, but I'm late to the party so here:
