"The PCs at an Internet cafe is usually swapped between users."

I'm not sure if "swap" is the better word in that sentence, please help.

Anonymous The PCs at an Internet cafe is are usually swapped between users. I don't understand what mean by 'swapped' so I can't say whether there's a better word. If you have two PCs A and B and two users P and Q, with P using A and Q using B, then if you change the situation so that Q uses A and P uses B, then you've "swapped" the PCs between the users.

OK. Well, that's stating the obvious, but it's not a situation that should be described as swapping. What you said above is the best way to say it.
