Long story short, without Jobs schools would have taken a generation to introduce their students to computers.

Our school had two Apple 2s. For "computer time", the 2 of us left regular classroom instruction and spent an hour with either Swashbuckler, or Oregon Trail. There were 50 other programs on floppies that we never seemed to get around to.
By middle school, I was playing Bolo on the LAN (my first LAN experience), and downloading Pamela Anderson Baywatch photos.
I didn't learn how to use a computer until my poor Dad dropped $3,000 on a Pentium 100, 16MB RAM, 1GB HD, 15" color monitor, and Win95. I learned by breaking stuff and having to figure out how to fix it.
