Oh... guess I was wrong - for once I'm happy to be wrong (I'm a teacher... :) ) Starlet, Re: computers... most urban schools and colleges are pretty well equipped for Poser. The oldest boxen in my classroom are the P-200 MMX machines I specifically resurrected as Linux servers. Otherwise, the student stations are P2-450 and P3-866Cu boxes. The '450s will wind up being transferred to other classes this year, then to the lower schools. But since I teach comp. sci, I usually rotate into new boxes on a 50/50 basis every three years. Same story goes for the drafting and multimedia classes. Now - rural schools are another matter entirely. I've lost count of how many boxes a few of us have helped smuggle into a neighboring rural county high school because their classroom workstations and servers were staggering along on old Pentium1 and even 66MHz 486 boxes... For those interested in education and computers, a real good site to hit up would be http://www.seul.com/edu - it's Linux-centric, but the money saved in M$ licensing fees alone more than makes up for the obstacles of learning *ix. /P
