    Cool picture. If you didn't say what it was I would have thought it was a nuclear reactor or something under construction.

  • In response to the Department of Education buying computers...why does every elementary, middle, or high school I've been in have MACS? They're so hard for me to use. I have never seen a company using Macs in the real world, so why must we use them all the time at school?

  • when I worked in a school here in manahattan every classroom had the worst computers I had seen, I believe the same computers I had in my classes when I was in middle school, but with a thousand more problems. And I really doubt the spare parts computers are technologically advanced to even waste the space to keep them.
