I mean, I certainly remember win 95/98 BSOD back in the day, but like using applications was usable on windows computer. Whereas in middle school, the labs had those green iMac G3s that you had to wait forever for it to open anything.

It’s all relative, I suppose. The machine I had been using prior to that iMac had half the clock speed and an eighth as much memory, so the iMac felt speedy in comparison.

Later iterations of the iMac G3 also addressed some bottlenecks in the earlier models which might also factor in.

I also remember school Macs being slow and unreliable at times. I wonder how much of that was related to how they were provisioned, with network accounts and stuff to let the IT guy spy on you and lock your computer.

School computers will always suck, regardless of platform. Along with corporate computers.
