That's true Tim, but I've seen the kind of software infant/nursery schools
run, it'd be quite happy running in 16mb of RAM :-)

I currently maintain the PC's in a local Infant/Junior school while they
appoint a full time dude to do it, and the software they run is in the main
at least 8/9 years old.

OK, so not every school will be like this, but the my mum (the head) insists
this is because the software that's out there sucks ass (my words, not hers)
