Hall & Oats did a really good cover of that song. It's on a DVD that my parents own.

It's kind of interesting how schools these days are replacing old Macs, with extremely cheaper computers, that are a helluva lot less reliable, harder to use, and in some cases, slower than the 14 year old Macs! Doesn't make a lot of sense. Macs are a lot easier to use for kids, seeing as its a very simple OS. Schools don't really need new technology either, cause they are mainly using computers for learning to type, typing papers, and playing games, right? Just doesn't seem sensible, or economical.

Yes, they had those as well as Power Mac 5400's at my elementary school. However, in 2003/2004, they replaced them with awful Compaqs. Believe it or not, the Macs were better (and less prone to problems) than the newer Compaq computers.

I once owned a 5400. Very nice machine.

This computer is from 1994. I can post specs if desired. It is an AIO, meaning the monitor and computer are built into eachother.

eck, I HATE RadioShack.  All they do is heckle you to buy something there as soon as you walk in the door.  If they're not heckling you, then they just stand there and watch.  Plus they are way overpriced for me, IMO, and I'm not talking about little diodes and stuff (I don't buy that), but everything else in the store.

I don't have that problem when I go there. They just ask if I need help with anything and then they just leave me alone.

I wish they would do that.  They just keep lusting after my wallet like wolves.

I lost my wallet once. Then i stopped carying my wallet.

The one problem I do have with RS is that when they DO ask if they can help me, they usually can't help me at all when I tell them what I'm looking for. I do just as well to search the store myself.

Boy if i had a nickle for every time that happoend to me...

I've bought my TV Tuner there, a wireless bridge (huge fiasco with that one), and several Macintosh accessories.
