Well, assuming that we are not seriously going to blow up any
machines... I wonder how Research Machines managed to become nothing
more than Windows enforcers? When I was at school we had the classic
RML-380Z
For those who are too young to remember, there's a contemporary review here...

thanks for this, I will pass it on to the

'exam results have shown computing subjects are failing to grab kids'
attention'
Personally, I think that half the reason people find computers boring
these days is that there isn't the mystique about them that there
was when I was growing up (the 80s)... you had a BBC Micro, your mate
had a Commodore 64... you argued about which was the better computer
and you programmed
Perhaps they haven't looked at the GCSE curriculum - I've been a
computer-holic for almost 40 years, and it sent me into a coma of
boredom!
Also, most experts or enthusiasts I think still prefer to do IT rather
than teach it.
My daughter had 5 IT teachers in one year - one took their coursework

IT should be more about computers less about office work!
Increasingly the stance is that IT functional skill should be embedded
across all lessons. Therefore part of say GCSE Biology would be to create a
report using word with tables, footnotes for references etc.
Hopefully this will free
GCSE IT must always be done the boring and monotonous way, instead of the
fun and interesting way that the markers can't be bothered to learn it
properly

Further to the other replies...
I've had a look through the KS3 and the KS4 curricula and, in my
opinion, there's nothing in there that is necessarily bad. So if it
isn't the subject itself that's turning people away, perhaps it is the
people who teach it.
In my experience, all too often a

As a student in Scotland currently studying Computing, I can safely

personally there are some turn offs. When I am older I would like to
be a programmer, but we are taught visual basic. I realise that it is
an easy language but I want

better state if you had!
