BTW, anyone heard of any especially good Mac software for kids? No, I'm *not* joking. I have a brand new class outfitted with 30 iFruits and I needs me some software, pronto.

If you had money for software...
I have money for software, there just isn't any I'm after right now.
Eventually I want software and hardware that can immerse me in a completely authentic virtual world of my own design, that I never have to leave.

VS7
XP or 2000 Server
As far as Mac software for kids, How about "Starry Night", or "Red Shift": both Astronomy related applications. Kids like that stuff.

They must be smoking crack. I used to use Visual Interdev. Even with everything they've added, it is NOT worth 1.5k, imo.
Oh, and why would I get XP in a Mac lab? ;)
Actually, I *could* get XP for my school dev machine but 98 runs all of my apps.
So far I have:
Flash(for the school site)
An upgrade for the school's copy of Photoshop...
I need some mac edu software.

Barring all that, what ages will be using these computers?
If nothing else, Civilization III would be my recommendation. ;)

VS is too much: 1.5k.
VS.NET Pro costs 650 quid here (it costs the same as version 6).
I can't see how this could equate to $1500.
I don't imagine for a moment that you need Enterprise Developer (which is ~1200 quid) or Enterprise Architect (~1500).

My sw "wishlist":
Win 2K server (maybe .NET Server if it turns out wintacular)
a couple XP Pros
a couple Office 2K2s
Photoshop 6
MSDN Universal (at edu prices, thank goodness...)
an OS/400 installation CD along with possibly DB/2 and whatever webserver stuff runs on AS/400s
There may be more, but hell if I know. :biggrin: (hell, I'm making this shit up as I go along! ;) )

If you get the MSDN you don't need any of the other MS stuff,

And if I had money for software... I'd buy some hardware instead.
