This is almost 20 years ago today, so my memory is a bit hazy, but basically each student had an account with a certain amount of space. I can’t remember the size, but given the amount of digital files we did produce it would’ve been 500GB+/ student. We could also “see” the account folder for everyone in our class for file sharing and stuff.

There were also accounts/folders for each teacher, which we used to turn in the primary copy of whatever assignment we had done, if it was digital. Physical art were scanned or photographed also, as a sort of backup. We were also required to back every project up via USB sticks, ofc.

There was also a dock for each digital camera that they had which allowed us to get our photographs transferred to our own folders.

Now, I’ll freely admit that I haven’t touched a Mac since I left that school, and I’ve never had any interest in them whatsoever, so I don’t know what they used or if it even exists anymore. Someone with more knowhow maybe does?

I do remember them specifically (proudly) telling us it all ran on Macs, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have any reason to believe so. The “server room” was basically what looked like a glorified closet with a rack and a couple of Macs that didn’t look like the ones we students used. This was just before the all-in-one models were introduced, iirc.
