To be fair - we asked to go to the library because that's where the crappy old machines lived. Excuse me while I go down memory lane... I think when I started (1995) it was a computer room with some 486s and the library with 186s. Then we got the internet, a single ISDN line shared by all of them, which was about as fast as you'd expect. At some point these got upgraded to pentiums with windows 98 or similar - in those happy days the IT people at the school had absolutely no idea what they were doing so we had a happy few months of installing and playing doom and quake over the network. I once found the IT technician going around all the computers and holding down the delete key to clear out the username field grumbling about "bloody kids filling these up", he was very impressed when I showed him how to select all...
