Huh. While they're a little on the slow side, I've had very few problems
with our lab of thirty.. They're running 9.1 and MM 1.4.1, and I haven't had
to *touch* them in something like six months.

Of course, I wouldn't ever want to use one myself, but these are for
elementary school kids, and they couldn't care less; the 5200s run
everything they could possibly need.

Just thought I'd throw in a good word for the poor beast =)
