I feel your pain. I have to spend 40 hours a week on a [censored] Dell running WinNT. And folks who b*tch about IE's performance on OS X should see what a pile of cr@p it is on Windoze!

OH YEAH! I have to use older Peecees than that at my school. And I use them in graphic publication. pc and graphics do not go together. I use M$ word and publisher, for Desktop Publishing. CRAP I tell you, CRAP!

IE: It crashes when I check my email ay yahoo. That is a crappy browser.

I would complain about the macs in my classroom (average 500MB hard drive...) But we have first generation iMacs and 3 G3s in the computer labs so... who's complaining =)

Well... half of our school has PCs, and the other half has Macs. They are all graphite iMacs. I would guess they are around 400-500mhz. But the school and the jerk-off kids do not take care of them at all. The iMacs in the photography room are really slow. But the internet connection if really fast! I saw it moving at 50k per second.

All our QuickSilver G4s were taken away when the Art faculty moved to another campus, leaving the rest of us with [also censored] HPs. They take four minutes to boot-up, another minute to log on, and generally don't work. I only use them if some dork gives me an assignment on floppy disk.
I draw some mixed reactions when I flip open my iBook, plug into a network jack and am up and running in under three seconds. Still, I can't help but wonder what it is people are actually learning.

We get Pentium 1 (read it, ONE) 133's, which don't do much. You can surf the web at a snails pace, and connect to our crappy network and use Word. Useful? I think not.

Stranger still, the fifth grade gets slot loading iMacs! How fair is this?

Oh well, that's what a TiBook's for, right?
