 I understand your sentiment; it is very frustrating
working with old computers/technology. As a computer
technician for our school, I work on machines that seem
to be on their last leg; the students know there are
better machines out there (sometimes at their house!) so
they certainly don't appreciate the exposure as much as they
should.

But don't give up. There will be some work done on your
labs; the "what" is apparently in the final stages of the
decision-making process. Have heart. There are new technologies
that are relatively inexpensive, fast, and exciting; some of
these will surely find their way into the B-site labs in one form or
another.
Just keep an open mind; their are options for improving existing
technologies that I know I haven't been exposed to yet--maybe you too.
