I just setup my first set of family computers.
It's so we all have a common space to compute, so the children are supervised as they explore the web. So we can help with homework and answer questions. So they can learn about how to use computers, and not computer-shaped appliances. So we can allplay games together. It's much more social than everyone on their phones/tablets/laptops/consoles elsewhere in the house.
And in the end, it's better. Anything you can do a phone or laptop is better done on a desktop (or docked laptop). Exponentially more screen space. Faster keyboards, more precise tools.
And most of my kid's friends will mostly only ever use tablets, phones, and maybe a Nintendo Switch. They never really compute together outside of parental unlocks. It's so sad.
The family computer has been to the local repair shop a few times and on one visit came back “formatted,” an old-fashioned word meaning “wiped and reinstalled with a pirated Windows.”

Confirmed, that’s what it means.
