We have an "internet room" in our college.
It's a room full of PCs (about 100?) dedicated for internet browsing.
Now most of these machines were old Pentium I PCs running windows 95 and netscape!
Working on these PCs is a prohibitive experience...

Anyway this year I was in for a pleasant surprise. As I walked by the internet room (I had given up sitting there a long time ago), I noticed that it was unusually crowded. Then I realized that all the old junk was gone, all replaced by new Sun thin clients running some sort of non-microsoft OS.

I guess technical support must have had their share of trying to keep alive 100 dying PC with windows 95!
