its fine, these computers r pretty powerful, the only problem might be not being able to install because of the admin rights that are set up... but bring it anyway, and we'll c wether its good for playing on a LAN :D:D

These computers are actually surprisingly powerful, spec-wise. If you want to try a game, bring it and try installing it during free time to see how well it does. Towards the end of the session, we'll have more time for ... um, games, so even if it takes too long to install for usual break times, the longer games might get some play time on other days.

Just for the record, the Original Unreal Tournament demo no longer works on these computers (or at least not in multiplayer). It's being blocked by Windows Firewall :(

I don't think 20 minutes is enough to do much.

And I thoguht the computers were wiped after each day so you would have to reinstall each breaktime. And the bigger games would take longer.

Well, if you finish your work early you'll have more than 20 minutes of free time... and most days there will be 30 mins alloted to free time.

What I meant was that the multiplayer function of the game doesn't work, because it's being blocked by Windows Firewall. You can still play it in single-player mode, though, I guess :/
