Heh! Being England/Nu Labour, of course, what has happened is that the
college have been obliged, at huge expense, to outsource everything to a
variety of different companies. So, the builds are done at one place, the
PCs and monitors are supplied by another place, and installed by yet
another.
And the "helpdesk" on site seems to be limited to looking blankly and
scribbling complaints on bits of paper. Then losing them.
"Dunno, you'll have to contact x about that, mate. We don't deal with that
here".

If you can drool, sit at a pc using messenger all day, and go "mmmggg" every
now and again to disturb those around you, they're happy to keep you as a
student!

As noted above, the IT dept would almost certainly not know what a refresh
rate was :)
Moreover, I asked last year, and they just won't do it. There's no actual
Health and Safety regulation regarding flickering screens (which I find
odd), so they won't do it.

Huh?!? Actually, they've got a few lcd monitors around, but they're always
in use.

Tried that - again, nothing, not even a toolbar, will install.
