Is Dragon 32 a Mac or Windows computer?

I started on Commodore (Vic20 that I don't remember much, C64, and A500) mostly with a tiny bit of Atari and then was on Windows at home for decades (I tried installing Linux (Mandrake and Redhat) back when it fit on a floppy, but without a lot of success). I guess I'm too old and not neurotypical enough?

I take it someone has already pointed out that excluded was the word wanted?

Run a second correlation on the incomes of these families and the tech literacy of their children and see what you find. I have a hypothesis.

In my experience kids who had iDevices don't grow up to be tech literate but do have decently off parents.

I also grew up dirt poor and only had a webTV til I was like... 14. I'm way more tech literate than most it seems.

I'm curious what her hypothesis is, I don't think there is a correlation at all personally, seen a ton of people who know nothing about their computers regardless of Mac/Windows as their primary os.

Should've written "Mac PCs" just to mess with people.

When Apple moved to Intel CPU’s there was the creation of the Hackintosh. Which was running apple’s OS on any PC hardware you had around that happened to be compatible. If you thought finding Linux compatible hardware was rough…that was worse.
