       @internetarchive The original Haitian American model reminded me so much of a I.T. teacher. I remember going to the computer lab and using the IBM Aptivas we had installed with Windows 95, Mavis Beacon was one of my favorites to use. Computers just seemed complex and overwhelming at the time.
