Are the teachers currently happy? Would they be happy if the terminals
were replaced with win98? Would they be willing to express their
opinions on the matter?

If the principal *really* *really* wants windows, come hell or high

as-needed basis, everything else runs on the cheap, reliable, lovable
thin clients.
