I am the editor of my high school's newspaper and yearbook and the school purchased these computers for all the computer rooms. After one semester with these computers--I'm thinking of going back to manual paste-ups. Atleast monthly the computers will shut down and delete very important pages (usually just around deadlines!) It takes me twice as long to get anything done and I have to delete anything that has been submitted so I have room to create new pages. We print an 8 or 12 page issue monthly. Honestly, that's not TOO much space. But to these computers, two pages is a complete overload. We've had to break down and use our own money to purchase an external hard-drive that we are constantly having to move from computer to computer. We also purchased jump-drives for all of our staff member and the majority of them hold more than the computers do! Also, the USB drives never seem to recognize when something is plugged into them. I will NEVER spend my own money on a PC--ever..especially not this one! Go MAC!

Sadly enough, yes. Multiple times. We also have a tech guy at our school whose personal phone number I have not just in my cell phone..but on speed dial. We have several problems with our network but most of the time..it's the computer, too.
