[CyberNerd]

I know this comes up every now and again.

we just installed a load more machines now our computer:tech ratio is 162:1
becta recommend between 50:1 and 150:1
We are now having trouble coping with this lot.

whats your ratio?

70:1

I don't know... some people are never happy

I work on my own and have:
* 135 Thin clients
* 60 XP Workstations
* 60 Staff laptops
* 30 Pupil laptops
* 30 Network printers
* 11 Macs
* 8 Assorted 'other' servers
* 6 Terminal servers
* And a partridge in a pear tree

On the client side I make that 296:1

[ANiceEnglishman]

About 300:1. Just me and part of a part-time administrator at the moment but we are recruiting a technician. I can see a further technician being needed in the not too distant future.

[GrumbleDook]

The way people think about my place they think it is 18 technicians to one computer ...

It is actually 154:1 (when you consider the euivalent worked hours since I have term time only as well as full time people)

360:1 accross 9 primary schools.

[OverWorked]

70:1

What do you do all day?

Including server, printers etc. its about 150:1. I'm term time only.

[Jake]

Ours is something in the vicinity of 110:1 since we took on another tech

[CyberNerd]

ok, thanks I'm starting to feel a bit better about it now.
(unplugging the phone and locking the door helped too)

[Netman]

70:1

What do you do all day?

Believe it or not I'm just as busy as when it was just me! How does that work then?! 8O

[andy]

Any advance on 360?!

We're 75.5:1 here - quite comfortable I suppose compared to a lot of you. Would still like NetSupport tho!
