Dell Latitude D620s throughout the entire school (laptop carts. My school is small)
And one Intel Mac Mini for the art teachers.

I was saying it would be too much if his/her high school had two electron microscopes; when you add up all the computers in my school, I'm sure it's over 100, if not 200. I just think it would be weird for a high school to have electron microscopes.
That was a year ago. Technology has changed a lot since, as have many schools. Plus, there are more members here now then there were a year ago.
You kids are so spoiled. Back when I was in high school, the closest you had to a computer, was a slide rule.
Been so long I forget.What century did you grow up in?
At our school, we were thrilled to get a 3/4 inch Sony video tape recorder and a video camera.
Computer, what's that?
Hanging on the wall in a meeting room in work is the biggest slide-rule I've ever seen.
I keep meaning to take a photo, it's quite impressive.
Then you find the original post and continue it from there.
Can you try to find your OP and have a mod combine the two?

I tried looking through all of the threads I started, and I can't find it. Perhaps someone else started the topic...

Dude, you need to calm down. It's not the end of the world if a thread that hasn't been posted in for over a year, if not more, doesn't get resurrected and instead a new one pops up. Besides, there's duplicate threads all the time on these forums, especially in the computer categories, yet nobody bothers to combine them.
Dell Optiplexes running XP...pretty fast actually Core 2 Duo processors with 2GB of RAM each. Too bad its still windows/Dell
Students are switching to macs though for personal use...i personally was instrumental in getting 3 people to switch in my class

I think our school just had the 1, but we had mad things like a pressure chamber which was only used once in the 5 years we were there.
At my old school, West Salem High School, we had Dells in the library and classrooms and we had Mac Pros in the video lab (it was beautiful; rows of the beasts) At my current school we have a few dells, but mostly brandless beige boxes. In the computer lab we have a mix of 17 inch iMacs and eMacs.
iBook G4's (older then my sister, so heavily restricted they're impossible to use.)
White iMac's 20"
I wish we could get better, newer Macs. I even made a desktop for the iBooks at my school. It has a bunch of errors that I have gotten. One of them being:
The application "Finder" is not allowed.

At my HS our computer setup is similar to the OP's
We have:
-8 Labs with 30 Dell Core 2 Duo Optiplexs and 17" LCD's (although a few of those labs are in classrooms for tech classes) running XP
-1 Dell Optiplex (same as above) in each classroom hooked up to an LCD projector and in some rooms, Promethean boards
-A few sets of 25 Dell Latitude D630s for "Mobile Labs"
-Maybe a few Intel iMacs for certain art classes (but I can't be sure since I haven't taken any of the classes that would use them)
Our school was completely remodeled last year which explains why we have such up to date technology. Originally we were supposed to have Promethean boards in every room but budget cuts forced them to drop the number of boards to only a few rooms in each department. But the budget cut did not affect the number of LCD projectors which we have in every room.

At my High School the regular computer lab had dells. There were also laptop carts a teacher could request with Dells.
In the Digital Illustration / Imaging / Publishing classes however there were 30 or so macs. When I was there they ranged from the cubes up to a few g5 iMacs. So g4's and up. Now they have nothing but dual core imacs at the very least with the instructor on a mac pro.
In yearbook I was editor-in-chief I ordered us 8 mac pros and an xserve. About $32,000 worth. It was heaven.
In journalism where we didn't make money off the product the editor-in-chief and myself positioned one of the school budget committees to buy an 8 pack of eMacs for $5,000 as well as an xServe and laserjet b&w printer. To replace our aging 300mhz g3's (although we still used them afterwards anyways) They approved it.
As far as I know journalism and YB are using the same set ups.
I enjoyed HS.
