oh yeah . . . well . . . well I'm gonna run FF7 on my Good Old Classic 486.  YEAH! That's right!

The thing flies at 66Mhz, has a spacious 350 Meg hard drive, 20 Megs of RAM, and a rockin' 1 Meg Cirrus Logic VL-Bus Video card.

Dude, your system would be the envy of my school's entire computer lab!

Seriously, we're stuck with 1994-era systems running win95 Version A!

Why?  Because our school is cheap; and it shunts ALL THEIR FUNDS to be used in maintaining the SPORTS PROGRAM!

Geez.....Our financial staff are IDIOTS..... :mad:

ugh . . . I know how that is.  Don't you just hate it when the school blows all their money on something as worthless as new lights for the football stadium?

I've got something worse...  the local public high school doesn't have enough books for everyone.  People have to rent them from their skimpy library, and most usually don't get one to do homework.  That's sad in itself, but the really bad thing is that whenever they come up with a thouseand dollars, instead of saving it up for books, they buy a crappy computer.  And then they restrict it, so the students can't use it for more than 10 minutes.  NEVER go to a public school in Des Moines.

i go to one of the richer schools in the area, and all 1000 or so of our pcs run windows 98, but theyre all from like 1996. it takes like 45 seconds to compile

#include

main()
{
        cout << "Hello Worldn";
        return 0;
}

its horrible. Our mac lab *shudder* has better computers than the rest of the school.

My friend played the game on a 75 mhz pre-Pentium chip (no 3d accel, on MIDI support on card so he had to use the Yamaha SoftSynth).

SLOW even in 320x240.  The BATTLE SWIRL took at least 30 seconds.  Summons and spells were very very bad.

Ack, it pains me to think about it.

I hate C++ on our College Computers.... if I make an error like I miss out the end of line terminator when I compile the program it tells me I have something ridiculous like 27 errors! Also we all have 30MB network space and a program that will add 2 integer numbers takes up about 4MB... you can imagine how much space is needed for databases....  :evil:

Ah don't feel too bad Darkness (a few posts up).  ALL of our computers are Macs (90% iMac) ...... bleh.

And I'm the system admin.  I'd really really like to replace em all with PC.

You'd be surprised at how much me and my friends joke about it!

Right now, we have this theory that by 2010, the school will have state-of-the-art Sports equipment, a full-blown football stadium, and still have not upgraded the computers at all.

Even worse, the computer lab teacher is old, very hard of hearing, doesn't pay very close attention to what people do, and prefers to take out all the good stuff in the comps and replace with 1992 era stuff, in order to prevent kids from trying to play games.

Heck, my friends are able to run circles around the network permissions he set up on the computers.  Of course, we've really only done stuff like change the desktop image, but if we wanted to we could really give him some problems.
