Can't let that pass without comment. As an Acorn user I could produce
numerous examples of the benefit my pupils have gained by learning to use
a variety of platforms and fully appreciate that IT is *not* MS windows
alone.
In fact it is a positive advantage to be using equipment which is not the
same as the games platform they use at home.
I think this is wandering off topic so I'll end there.
