Had you not been resentful, you might not misspell 'indorenate'.
I looked for a reference, but it's been scrubbed from many sources.

Apple helped pioneer the use of computers in schools back in the 1980s with the graphical interface of the Macintosh. These days, it's the iPad that's the hot trend in education and Jobs' education legacy is growing with the popularity of mobile devices in the classroom.

It didn't start with Macintosh, but the Apple ][. I worked for a software company that provided educational software in 1980.
Wired has the complete list that started with the ][e and included the eMate 300, Power Mac G3 All-in-one and the eMac but you can't read the article without subscribing.
Long story short, without Jobs schools would have taken a generation to introduce their students to computers.
