Mac OS X / 9.2.2

Oh sorry; forgot that whilst Apple Mac hardware can run Windoze, 
Wintel boxes can't run the Mac OSes...

As someone else said, much still running on BBCs; other schools 
finally kicking out the unreliable Wintel kit and installing stable 
RISC OS systems...

And please don't trot out the line about Windows whatever version 
being 'the standard' - by the time nursery-age children reach junior 
school it will be long obsolete.

Appropriate Technology - define the job, then use the right tool...
