risks of updating windows

[EricB]

install windows 2003 server. they don't check for valid copies. I guess that not enough copies is circulating around for them to care

well this is a school computer

personally, if i had a pentium 3, 512 MB RAM...id take advantage of it, install windows 2000 and nfs underground 2

thats ALOT of ram for a pentium 3, lol

yea, the OS is only 1 year newer than the computers right now, haha

the teacher's computers is the complete opposite, its a dimension 3000 with pentium 4 3.0 ghz, 512 RAM, and SP2

totally unfair

Thats probably because kids ruin everything they get their hands on

 

[talldude123]

yea, you have a point

the floppy drive eject buttons are missing
the cd-rom drives dont work
the case screws are half-working (lol)
the stickers are off
only the dell logos exist

and obviously, the teachers computer is mint condition

 

[Osiris]

thats probably the reason why....

 

[talldude123]

yea

plus the school doesnt buy anything good for students, because we're not taxpayers ;(

 

[Osiris]

looks like you are sol...

next week of school before xmas holidays is just a joke....
there will be no work assigned, so i will just hook up my old laptop to the pc monitor, watch a movie!

 

[Osiris]

sounds like a plan to me......

 

[talldude123]

it sucks that i cant hook up the LAN to my laptop though

the teacher says it screws up the school network
