I installed it on Windows 7 on my PC and it works fine and installed fine. The only bit that doesn't seem to work for me is system manager.

It doesn't have to be either of those people really. One of our local schools ICT coordinator was a PE teacher - very good at it he was too.

Ditto here too.

One would hope they don't fully remove it until they have replicated some of the reporting features that are much easier to use for staff.

Bluepoint Home We use these guys - just done me 50 x 4Gb Kingstons for £5 each so I'm sure could help. I deal with a guy called Kaz there ([email protected])

To quote the legendary Stephen Fry on the Davinci Code - "Complete loose-stool-water. Arse-gravy of the very worst kind."

We may have an OMR reader you can have for a small fee. Works fine - we just don't do OMR now! Based in Kendal. PM me if you are interested.

We have about 100 NC10 and I think they are great. Very nice keyboard. Just bought an N310 (apparently NC10 replacement) and that too is great.

Ditto - I got so excited, MSI deployment, adms written. What a joy to deploy! Then no features!

If you ever get the chance to see the play "Breaking the code" it's well worth watching. An excellent drama about a true genius.

Similar experience here. Bought the cheapest and treat them as throwaway items. Another idea is to buy a whole load of in-ear cheapish ones and sell them to students for £1 or something so they all have their own with them.

Download UBCD or similar and reset the local admin password then you can drop it back into the domain.

Gaffer tape!

But some people (like us) do things like lesson registration and behaviour managment in SIMS thus we need it in every classroom either on a teacher laptop or PC

Not working today as I think the next couple of weeks will be busy enough with open evening and awards evening both early on this term. We did pretty much all we needed to in the hols (we are all term time only + 4 weeks so don't get that many holiday working days in) so I sent the team home at mid-day on Friday. Hopefully it will mean we've all had a restful long weekend and will come back refreshed for the new term tomorrow. I had a lovely afternoon at the pics watching Inglourious Basterds - top film and highly recommended!

NC10 for me here too. We have nearly a 100 of them and I think they are superb. As someone else said they feel very usable (partly due to the keyboard being near full size). I like the look of the N310 though. Think I may buy one next term for evaluation.

That would have been fine if August release was available to us but it was withheld until after exams day by our support people! We also use our spreadsheets for a lot more analysis and to generate a file for our local paper who only accept specific formats so still very necessary!

We import them into SIMS which I tend to do on the server to prevent large results files causing problems. We then produce spreadsheets from SIMS and add in all the bits SIMS doesn't have results for like Wider Key Skills & CoPE etc. Do a few formulas to produce the headline figures etc. and that's about it. I have to say the exam results days are one of my favourite times of year and I really enjoy being part of the process.

But then the user can't even get to the 10 or so sites the OP talked about wanting to allow.

Don't joke - my current trainee looks exactly like him!!
