text:
The Manx Telecomputer Bus was a Manx government initiative to teach IT to children from the late 1990s onwards, when access to computers was limited in schools. A converted bus was equipped with 23 Macintosh computers and acted as a mobile classroom. Operating from 1998 to 2020, the bus toured the Isle of Man to teach children about the internet and technology. The bus on occasion made trips to England also. Approximately 100,000 schoolchildren made use of the service during its lifetime.
