a) That mouse is foul b) Its pug ugly c) $30?? d) Wired mice are better, generaly lighter so better for the wrist, batteries dont run out, and for the sake of 20 cm of 3mm^2 wire (well not actully ^2 because its round, and I am too tierd) you dont need a big reciver sat somewhere unsightly.
Our school is dominated by Microsoft. Like you we are a "Technology Collage", and let me just explain the setup. We have computer rooms filled with Duron 800s running Windows XP, with about 30,000 virii on each. If your lucky enough for it not to restart from blaster in the middle of your work, you generaly run out of space on your home directory as some twat decided to install The Sims about 50 times, or AOL. As for the main machines, we have 2 or 3 win2k servers... which rarely work.
And the teachers, I know I shouldn't be saying this but http://www.kirkbalk.org/ - Head of IT's handy work. Ahh, the joy of Frontpage, the joy I feal when it doesn't display propperly, if at all, on any of my slackware boxes at home. The head of IT computer knowlage stops at about Office 97. I know I am just really getting into computers and I may not know a lot, but Jesus Christ how did he got his job?
I once offered the school techs (who wont be reading this, they read go on/.) one of my Linux distros. SuSE 9 professional 5 cd, cost me an arm and a leg that did, an offical copy mind you. Got it back a month later, I dont think he actully used it, scratched to fsck and all the jewel cases broken. It wont install now.
Actully, the only thing I do like about this school is its internet connection. Although they have blocked.exe,.zip and.rar files being downloaded,.iso is fine, so I can download all my Linux distrobutions:D

I am confused.
"What your parents need to know" - wtf? Isn't it usually the teenager who knows about computers, and the older people who dont have a clue?
and why the frek does it look like a V-tech kiddies toy thing?
