Nano tape. I have used it to secure small computers to the back of display screens for digital signage. Use plenty and make sure you stick it in the correct place first time as it is a real pain to get back off.

Anyone who has ever used Stevenage station will know that this is exactly how the announcer pronounces it. -
Pupil. Teacher would haver printed a class set of 30.

+1 for CCT. Our Zero 88 failed a few years ago a few days before a show. CCT replaced it with a Showtec Showmaster 48 which serves our purpose and pupils found easier to use.

Have a word with Simon Hool at GeTech. We have had hundreds of Chromebooks from them and always a deal to be had. Chromebook 100e's have been reliable apart from two with keyboard failure after about a year that were repaired very quickly under warranty.

Lenovo 100e.

Probably by the school address. Three schools in Hitchin - OK. Schools in Hitchin, Stevenage and Letchworth not OK. MATS in London get a good deal I presume. Schools quibbling over £159 a year must be in dire financial trouble.

Regret that I have given up with the Fire tablets. The lack of Play Store was a real deal breaker. I know that they can have Play Store side loaded but this seems a bit like buying a diesel car and then trying to convert it to petrol! And the fact that Fire tablets are now no cheaper except when they sell off the old stock just before releasing a new model.

....and I quote directly from the TV licensing website for schools and colleges. A single TV Licence will cover All TV receiving equipment being used at all sites within the same town and under the control of the same senior official.

Lenovo M10 plus 3rd Gen. Bought one for my son from Argos and was so impressed I bought one for myself. Comes with a free Lenovo clock at the moment. Comes in a bit more than £100 unfortunately but Lenovo stuff is far better quality than most other manufacturers.

Whatever you buy, make sure they are digital. Whilst not absolutely encrypted, they cannot be easily listened into like an analogue radio. We have used Crystal Radio Systems Ltd. (http://www.twoway-radio.co.uk) for years and have always had good service. At present we have Vitai VDG-360 digital radios which work far better than the analogue ones we had before.

https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-eurocars/shed-of-the-week-volvo-240-glt/29951 I had this car, not just one of these but the very car featured in the article although I had it in the mid 90s when it had less than 100,000 miles on the clock.

Time to get on with some real work now. A little less conversation, a little more action.

Money saved on not upgrading memory would go a long way to paying for the management licence. On reflection I probably would install SSDs for reliability and quick startup considering how cheap they are now.
