I never had a computer until 2005 so all this old stuff is foreign yet amusing to me

I'm surprised the "Mac vs PC" terminology has been around for so long. In my opinion, it's deceptive not to call Apple computers PCs; I think the term should refer collectively to general purpose personal computers like desktops and laptops but excluding servers, game systems, and maybe smartphones/tablets.

It sounds like they used to have much more variety in computer input methods. "The most common is a trackball mouse that clips onto the side of the unit". I see some of my professors using trackballs, but they're overall a pretty obscure input devices.

"Almost all of us are going to have to be using Windows whether we want to or not" still holds true today, but holds a different meaning

I'm a little surprised how much they're portraying women as computer experts
