So true....... But then Capita own them...

Its certainly not good practice to bite too hard the hand that feeds you and having started to look at MSL I get the impression that they are doing just that along with a fuzzy pricing structure. We all know school budgets are under pressure and MSL don't appear to appreciate their excessive / inflated quotes and marketing pressure actually makes their captive customers start to investigate their shortfalls in depth. If like us, then schools start to look at the other alternatives that are available in the market place, ask what facilities they really need and establish true running costs.

There is certainly some interesting reading in this thread, especially since our librarian is currently being pushed by MLS (the company) to update and change over to MLS Eclipse 'Reading Cloud'.

Biggest problem is the ridiculously small size of the filters compared to the airflow pulled through them in a normal working day. We clean ours monthly and come the following month, some look as though they have never been cleaned ! As for the projectors fitted in the Home Ec dept …….. Some of our projectors require cleaning more frequently but we do not have the manpower to do that, which brings me to my next comment. I would have liked to have asked the Epson trainer mentioned by CapEnd earlier, why projector manufacturers like Epson fit such small filters in the 1st place and then expect them to last a reasonable time without clogging.

A bit of a delay in entering my info, but I did not know this thread existed. Well for the record, we are running with it in Angus as are Dundee City schools. Steve
