Correction, I was the(singular) Inventor Guy. Our school computers mostly had Inventor 5. Some were 200MHz P2/3 (I don't remember) with 256MB RAM. Others were 333MHz P3 with 256MB RAM. They ran Inventor, but were painfuly slow, especially for larger assemblies. I brought my own computer, which had Inventor 4 (that the school had allowed me to have becuase no on needed it). It was 1.9 GHz AMD Athlon, 768MB RAM. Big difference. Becuase I was now doing everything on Inventor, they let me, temporarly, install the Inventor 9 that came this year. We got new computers, but, as I am graduated and the school system, who must have absolute control over every computer the county owns, was slow putting them together, I don't know much about them. They were a bulk deal though the county and by HP, I think. It took us all last year to convence them we needed new computers. The 333MHz computers were dontated to us the previous year by a company who was clearing out their unused computers.

If they want us to think outside of the box, why do they make us fit in a 38x28x60 inch box?
