We gave up our pentium III's when the library went to Millennium. It ran on them, but too slowly. XP was too much for the systems.
The Gate's Grant/Champlin Foundation support has been a boon to all of us. Unfortunately the ref librarian and I have been of the opinion that when the pc's work well we shouldn't consider replacing them. While other libraries in the state are enjoying faster and more sophisticated machines 'because they can,' we're still using our pentium iv's.
The computer I ghosted over last night was a spare p IV, formerly from the Adult ref area. The Children's pc it replaced has been relegated to 'parts status.'
