The schools did not have color PC's then, and no home I visited had them 
in 1989.  But the schools had plenty of Apple IIgs with color monitors.  

Its just that Apple was again ahead of the game and I was unaware of the 
entire PC world outside of the K-5 school which I was attending, which 
had PC's, but not one was in color.
