    Ah yes, the joys of turning the stray flock back to the light!  ;)  I had
a similar experience at my former high school.  There is ONE (count'em ONE) GS
in the whole school of 1600 students.  It was located in the remedial
education centre.  Care to guess what it was running?  Bank Street Writer III
and MultiScribe //e.  I had a case study in Systems Analysis class coming up
in a couple months, so I decided to write something on the GS.  Everyone else
either used the Mac Pluses or the XT's.  On the day of the presentation, we
had a lot of spare time given to us by the teacher during class.  Luckily, I
just HAPPENED to have Dungeon Master, a couple FTA demos and Xenocide with me
that day... borrowed the speakers from the teacher's Mac SE and plugged them
into the the GS (no stereo though).  0 to 30 people in under 10 seconds...
