Re: time warp computer lab of iMac G3s
Hi all, Just got back from the wilds of Wisconsin where I have been in occasional WIFI territory. 3,250 miles on the van! My iMacs and I live in Connecticut, up in the the NE Quiet Corner (translate pretty, but a bit depressed economically...actually if you are a farmer it is good and we have mostly dairy). I teach in Manchester CT, an hour away, which is right next to Hartford. You are certainly right about me needing RAM! That is on my list at the top to track down. As for software, I talked my art dept into a Photoshop Elements 10 license deal years ago, and I now am the only user of it. I also brought in my own ancient Photoshop 4(?) for a machine...kids are fine with anything. Unlike adults, they don't freeze up if confronted with a million buttons. I use Scratch and SketchUp with 5th grade and sometimes 4th. I have lots of Wilton ART CDs that are really nice but crash fairly often. Some of my best art CDs only work with OS 9 which prompted me to keep the iMac lab vintage. I only have two OS X machines, one came that way and the other I was just curious to do it. Works great. The extension hassles I remember from when I had an iMac first time around are still a mystery to me but I have learned to relax in the intervening years and simply get the darn thing to work, by hook or by crook. I should add that the school issued me a MacBook that I use for presentations and let kids use SOMETIMES...I bought a keyboard cover to keep kid crud off it. Art rooms can have special problems when it comes to electronic equipment :-) When school opens I'll post a photo of my new lab set up...the new tables are awesome...and iMacs always look great! Again, thanks for all the support. I am sure I will be mining this group for answers to more specific problems as I get more machines ready to roll.
