Kids can't wait!
summary
Claims that Apple moves computing into classrooms at scale with Apple II to 10,000 California schools in 1983 and a public Kids Can't Wait campaign; builds a university channel — an Apple University Consortium of 24 schools — that places Macs into courses (Cornell trains 2,000 intro CS students yearly on Mac), custom hardware (Drexel bezels) and network bridges at Stanford that seed companies like Cisco. NeXT’s OS later becomes the core of modern Apple products.
