@ocdtrekkie @alienghic @cwebber I agree with a lot of your posts on this thread but not this one. There's nothing inherently superior about a Windows PC over a Chromebook in terms of understanding what's happening underneath, just a ton of headaches, mysterious error messages, and unnecessary software compat errors. If we want kids to understand the tech, give them something where they have to use a shell. Most kids and most adults don't need to know that. But the ones who do will find their way anyway. I got given an account on an AIX workstation when I was 16, and shortly thereafter we got a bunch of Sun workstations. That was when I learned the first of the tech skills I'm still using today at age 49. I've forgotten most of what I knew before then because who the hell needs a .BAT file or how to manage a TSR program, or how to track down an IRQ conflict?
