The end of an era

Windows 3.1 at FLEC is no more. Yesterday we finally took our oldest PC out of service. The circa 1993 Packard Bell PB430A computer had been happily humming along in Mrs. Sheffield's kindergarten class for many years, but had recently died a dusty death. Its 33 MHz Intel processor, 8 MB of RAM, and 170 MB hard drive will be laid to rest, replaced by one of 50 newer Compaq EVO machines donated by Florida Hospital.

Now, lest this ancient machine lead you to think our other equipment might be outdated, let me assure you that most classroom computers do run XP, and our slowest machines run Windows 2000 on 1.3 Ghz processors.

Here it is. Should we put it in a museum?



These are some of the newer EVOs that were donated by Florida Hospital. Thanks, Herb!
