I was quite impressed that they've thought about lesson planning and cross curricular learning.
There's certainly a lot of scope for fun with that kit though :-)
OCS here - moving to lync this year.
I'd say never underestimate the growth in a project like this - you may not need external dialling yet - but have a plan for adding it, cause eventually you'll be asked ;-)
I think the only way you'll get round that is not to use a PDF - unless you submit a bug report to the chrome dev group?
also: that is flipping hilarious!
Personally I'm going to try and visit as many of the smaller stands as possible.
Some of the best stuff I saw last year was on the tiny stands - FYI just ask @Ric_ about the Skoog...
I'd think ahead - will it always be 14 machines? or is there room for expansion?
Also a number of manufacturers do 'semi-managed' or 'part-managed' switches. these normally have web config pages that let you set up up vlans and provide an overview of faults etc. They're normally not much over a dumb switch anyway.
Personally that's what I'd look for.
