I suppose an island that still regards homosexuality as a crime must be a bit
backward, but the mid-80s???

Isle of Man moves over to Microsoft
Jack Schofield
The Guardian, Thursday December 2, 2004
The Isle of Man announced this week that, as part of its joined-up government
strategy, it was moving everything to Microsoft Windows. No doubt this
cheered up a company implicated, along with EDS, in the biggest computer
crash in British government history. In technology terms, however, it
represents the island's belated move into the mainstream rather than a
cutting-edge development.

"We are not for names, nor men, nor titles of Government, nor are we for
this party nor against the other but we are for justice and mercy and
truth and peace and true freedom, that these may be exalted in our
nation, and that goodness, righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace
and unity with God, and with one another, that these things may abound."
(Edward Burroughs, 1659 - from 'Quaker Faith and Practice')
