lol Wayne, I've got a story for ya ....

In the 1990's I was the volunteer at my kids elementary school in charge of keeping a PTA funded 30 PC network with education software running. Yes, think about it ... a public elementary school with an Ethernet computer network since 1993 -- all paid for by the parents.

One of my challenges was that the school had no one there during school hours who had any PC skills ... I mean even unjamming a printer was beyond them.

I mostly did maintenance once a month on Saturdays.

One of the mysteries in maintaining the network was the short life expectancy of the mice.

Wellllll one day, I took vacation to do some repair work during school hours and I got to see the kids in action on these computers.

Ummmmmm .... let me just say that they are very "demanding" PC users. No patience for any variation in response time.

And how did these little kids express their impatience ?

..... on the mice !! THEY WERE BRUTAL !!!!

lol
