With Your Help I Have Done It .

[tickmike]

Hello all ,

 

 

Well I've had 'user's' most of this week for the first time on this new system I have worked on over the holidays With lots of help from you guys and girls .

 

The pupils and teachers are enjoying the benefits .

 

A big thank you and I hope this site goes from strength to strength.

 

From Michael.

Just interested.

 

What enjoyable benefits do you think the new system gives to the pupils and teachers?

you're not on your "why have a server" soapbox again are you Simon??

[SimpleSi]

you're not on your "why have a server" soapbox again

 

Why not?

 

Its strong and robust and can easily handle my weight

 

I really believe that your lovely servers are worth their weight in gold in administrating large numbers of hostile users (e.g High School pupils and seemingly teachers as well)

 

But a small school? (I've assumed its a primary but maybe not)

 

@Michael - name a benefit they've enjoyed this week

 

regards

 

Simon

 

PS Remember I do actually have a real server somewhere but I'm having to have ChrisH come across to show me how to switch it on properly

...centralised administration...security....sharing of resources...the same benefits server/client network models bring to most organisations that use them. I would guess. The same reasons any school uses a centralised server/client model to cope with the demands of modern computer use in an educational environment.

 

Might be a small school, but the three points above work for a small school, small office, or even a home network setup.

 

Anyway- I hope your users continue to enjoy their network that you have worked hard to build Michael.

 

Well done!
