Stop it, Greencapt, you're bringing back low-tech high school memories. I think there were between eight and twelve TVs in my HS, all of which rode around on carts with a VCR tagging along. I think a couple of the VCRs might have been old-style-even-then top loaders. The teachers just looooved having to scrounge up a TV for a video lesson; the smart ones would make their reservation weeks ahead.
We had those too, only fewer, maybe 4. I enjoyed when teachers used those because I didn't have to write anything and I could sleep
.Later on, my highschool built this nice theater thing with around 50 seats and a video projector, and some soundspeakers on the side of the walls. Kinda neat, althought the projector was too high and deformed the image (the bottom was bigger than the top). I remember one day where the history teacher asked us to seat closer to the screen because the sound of the tape wasn't so good. I tried to argument with her that the sound didnt come from the projected wall but from the soundspeakers, but it was useless.
I remember the first computers we had back in highschool, pre-historic green-coloured monitors, we used to program in LOGO on those. Took us forever to calculate on paper and later program it to draw a star onscreen. (I belive that program was used to create the death star plans animation sequence for ANH) - When I gratuated they had changed to something like Pentium 133 though
