nice wallpaper for a school, and you have office 2010!

We can actually suggest a wallpaper to get chosen for every PC in the school [editline]28th January 2011[/editline] And yeah, office is always latest, we've got Adobe Masters Suite CS4 and pretty much every Autodesk program available (At school and to download at home)

We get office, adobe suite, and full administrative rights. We can do everything. [editline]28th January 2011[/editline] :3:

this wallpaper discussion reminds me, on the imacs at my school they have it so you cant change the wallpaper using the system for it in the OS. the solution: firefox, right click and "set as background"

In my school, the library computers has a picture of 9/11 twin towers burning with the caption "Best day ever".

So I noticed something today. When you're being watched by the system admin from his office, remotely, a command prompt appears on your screen. I began to type an extremely long novel of the thoughts and feelings of a slug as it has to travel from Hong Kong to Moscow. I will be using excruciating amounts of detail, describing every cell of it's being moving across the ground. Lets see how long it takes before the command prompt goes away.

In our school the screen flashes, so then I started writing my essay on 1984 and downloading pictures of the book

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;27711696]In our school the screen flashes, so then I started writing my essay on 1984 and downloading pictures of the book[/QUOTE] Offtopic: but the film from 1984 based on it is very good and thought-provoking.

[QUOTE=Bomimo;27711881]Offtopic: but the film from 1984 based on it is very good and thought-provoking.[/QUOTE] I liked the book better. I always like the book better. [i]fork while fork[/i] Overheard this morning from some sort of computer course (I'm not taking the course, I was waiting for my class to start): [quote]Prof: If you get a virus, a window might pop up telling you you have a virus. It's usually a virus. Student: How do you know when it's a real alert then? Prof: YOU WON'T EVER KNOW (yelled this). That's why you use Internet Explorer. It's really secure. Other Student: What about Firefox and Chrome? Prof: They download viruses automatically in the form of add-ins.[/quote] I stopped listening after that because I had to go the restroom to laugh hysterically.
