The first thing Jon found as he leapt into the role of network manager was that he had to map out the network to find out what was on it. He bought some tools for this at CompUSA and realized there was an ungodly amount of computer viruses and spam, so he pressed the school to invest in filtering and antivirus protection. 'These computers are so old they don't support all antivirus programs,' Penn says. The school took advantage of a Microsoft effort called Fresh Start that offers free software upgrades for schools with donated computers, switching from Windows 98 to Windows 2000.


I can't believe they were still running 98 :wtf:
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I thought there was some 11 year old kid administrating something.

You tricked me with your titles.

Burn in hell. Forever.

Probably the machines were too old for XP. 2000 is better for that kind of old machine anyway.

Damn you Kosh. Your title screwed me too.

I thought this was about an 11-year old taking over administrator privileges on an online forum or something.
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

All I was in charge of was the TV/VCR/DVD system for one of the wings at my school when I was in middle school. :(
