When i was in highschool i took a pascal class (the teacher wasn't
teaching c then =( ).  They had about 20-30 dumb terminals and some sort
of server running what i think was some bsd, but i'm not sure.  I think
the dumb terms were leased from a company and the server was only an
overglorified pc.  You could probably turn all those machines into terms
and the see if the school can get a server so they can all use the same
home directories.
