Re: Fwd: [pygame] font/text in pygame

Heh, I had the same issue at my college. Windows 9x or XP, and IE throughout. 
In fact most of the test and educational apps were browser-based 
presentations (Macromedia, I presume), which the college decided should be 
rendered with IE..........double ugh.

This seems to be a trend amongst educational (and other) institutions. I don't 
understand why places that are supposed to be centers of knowledge and 
information are so bent on using the most closed, buggy, and proprietary apps 
possible. And yes, they crashed.....a lot. Methinks they should upgrade to 
Python-based apps. ;)

Anyway, I'd have to admit, the main thing I missed when having to use the 
computers at school was Linux. :)
