My secondary school also had archaic monochrome 1983-vintage Philips 
almost-XT-combatibles in 1989 (in fact it was still using them to 
'teach' computing (i.e. MS DOS 3.3) in 1995...), but one would have had 
to have had a rather blinkered view of the world of PCs (or Macs) to 
have not encountered colour PCs.

Kind of reminds me of Plato's simile of the cave-dwellers...
