I wouldn't say it requires balls... We are a predominately Mac school, so 
the students and staff expect things to run a little differently. :-)

The lab has been running without a problem all year (well, one minor 
problem, when the students are over their quota they can't even log in). 
So much better than when it was Win98, and I don't have the problems of 
students installing crap.
