Nineties Children's TV with spooky computers...???

[elbowjuice]

Can anyone remember the name/further plot of a children's tv show that was shown in the early-mid nineties where children at a school were given free computers which didn't work until you typed "HELLO?" onto the black screen with the green letters?

Then there was some kind of hypnosis/evil plot thing that followed....

This has been bugging me for so many years!

Thanks!

Was it Beowulf?

I don't think that's what it was called actually...but I think the computer was called Beowulf

Found it!!! It was Behemoth, not Beowulf!!! And the series was called Dark Season
