Re: Best Solution to outfit a classroom with computers

I get the idea the teacher isn't that computer saavy. Not to mention that network might be partiually off limits (with schools they tend to be for non-school computers), VCDs would have to get there somehow, and Flashdrives walk off like you wouldn't beleive.

Also, such CDs and DVDs are often times DRM'd to the extreme... they have e-copies of the textbook among other stuff, which is highly protected (textbooks are expensive!). I wouldn't be surprized is there was some method of copy protection used.

I guess she'd have to watch her flashdrives like a hawk..... I'd hope she's savvy enough to use a basic network, otherwise she has no business buying laptops for the entire class..... LOL I must say, if shes considering used laptops, she probably isn't the most computer savvy.....sad

Re: Best Solution to outfit a classroom with computers

I have a better idea, how about thinclients and a massive ibm 8-quad processor terminal server.

sure with the noise the students wouldn't be able to hear a thing but oh well

if shes going for a kickstarter I would have to say get the netbooks, but good netbooks

I thought you said this was just for 'net surfing? now there is software involved. Jeez.

I guess it *might* be possible to have a wireless router in the room, wanned to the schools lan, and have a server on the routers's lan. Of course the IT department might nix this whole thing
