Hmmm, I'm not surprised. Even when computers are in a good state, you can spend far too much time setting up to do what you want, compared to actually doing it. Then there's the usual sorry state of PCs in schools with staff that are technically illiterate. I've spent many years working in school, and to be honest, I think we're much better off with less computers, not more. People skills are more important, and they're shocking, these days. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
