That reminds me of some of our computers around school. Instead of getting turned off, a paper printed "Out of Service" is stuck on the monitor. My school uses Fortress Guard on its Windows, and sadly, it's yet another program that is easily bypassable. If something as small as a simple boot error screws everything up and isn't fixed for 2 weeks, I'd like to see them on Linux. That'd be better for the computer at least.

I only brought my laptop to school once or twice and found it to be more of a hassle than useful at the time. I'm waiting for 2 years to pass, and then a laptop will probably become my main tool in college. For now though, I guess I'll have to stick with the TI-83.

That's EXACTLY what they do at my school. They tape something on the monitor saying 'broken' or something stupid like that, because they are angry some dumass tried to install aol on their computer.

stupid non-techs.

hehe

man...makes me sad. I'm a lowly tech support at an ISP, and all day I get to talk to "techs". I'm now seriously convinced theres an even EASIER job than sitting on my *** for 10 bucks an hour looking at automags.org! To the ignorant anyone with an ounce of knowledge is a genius. "your ignorance is my job security"
but then...it's always been that way hasn't it?
