Heh. Reminds me of the time I got kicked out of my
High School library
for using one of the computers to work an English assignment.

Apparently, despite the presence of both a 3 1/2" floppy drive and
Microsoft Word, these computers are never to be used for such tasks.
Nope - searching the library catalog is all they're good for.
You are/were better off than some.
I'm faculty, currently assigned as a librarian (after they discontinued
all of the good CS classes). One of our administrators (synonym for
"needs to be defenestrated") decided that nobody should work on English
assignments on the library computers, so they REMOVED Microsoft Office
from them.
The most common question from the library parons is, of course, "Where is
the restroom?". The second most common question is, "Where's the word
processor on these?"
