A long while ago we played with a bit of software (I do not remember the name) that allowed a teacher to display their screen on the screen of all the students logged on around the room. You could do a lot of other things with it like launch a particular app, freeze the screen / keyboard / mouse, open the cd tray etc etc. I'm now looking for something similar, in particular the "showing the class the teachers screen" feature. The difference now is that we are using a purely thinclient network running on citrix ICA. Does anybody have any ideas on software that may be sutible? I guess it needs to work with Terminal Services.

Thanks for the good advice. We've decided to go to our usual HP reseller, Novus, and got a quote for a few hundred more than Dell. I'm willing to pay a few hundred more if it keeps my heart rate below 150bpm. No doubt the build quality will be superior too. Goodriddence Dell.

It's not fair! I'm still on hold since my last post. Do you guys get a direct number for your account manager?

I'm glad others have similar experiences. It's now 2009 and Dell still haven't sorted it out. I've been on the Dell site and spec'd up a server.. but can I buy it!? I don't even want a schools discount, but it seems I can only order through the schools team. I've emailed my so-called account manager with "PURCHASE ORDER!!!!!" In the subject.... no response. I've got quotes from my HP reseller but unfortunatley Dell are by far the cheapest. Dell schools team are an absolute epic FAIL. It aggravates me so. I'm on hold as I type. AAGGGGRRRHHHHH!
