  1. We've got an iMac in the office at the moment, It does make a scary number of the girls go week at the knees.
  2. Sad but true, we're about to replace an NEC because we changed the bulb and it made not difference. The bulb we changed was the original and it hadn't actually done it's stated life. How do people feel about the effects of filter cleaning. We clean them during the holidays or when the teacher reports asks us to (which is never). I cleaned one today that hadn't been done for 700 hours.
  3. deltree [path of folder] /S /Q Shove that in a file with the extension .bat and then add it to tasksheduler.
  4. We got a request for help with a lightswitch. We were also asked for a OHP!!!
  5. That's dedication, or insanity.
  6. DDR 11 is rubbish, my laptop has DDR266.
  7. Exactly you need to "Utilise resource intensive virtualisation software to test multiple senarios in a non production environment." EDIT: I can't say much, I have the worst laptop known to man. I'm actualy eyeing up a circa 2003 RM that's just been returned by a retiring member of staff. I'm currently running a Celeron 1300 (yep that's a fast but cutdown P3).
  8. Very well said guys. Education is more important, I doubt there's a student in the land who doesn't have access to unfiltered internet (most of them will have it their own homes). And as for mobile phones which are mentioned throughout the article. How would it even be possible for schools to monitor students private mobile phones. The government powers needed would be considered a massive invasion of privacy. And of course schools clouldn't ban mobile phones, the daily mail says 67% of students who leave home without a mobile phone will be eaten by a knife wielding Peadophile wearing a hoody.
  9. We usualy just add an email alias for their new name.
  10. http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/26339-cable-trick.html
  11. Get VirtualBox on your machine. You can have a completly clean virtual machine and after you've built the package you can just click revert to snapshop and it's clean again. Simples.
  12. They can't be that special surely. Are they gold plated or woven out of hair shed from Johnny Depp or something.
  13. They have some Helly Hansen and Berghaus on MandMDirect.com - The UK?s leading online discount clothing retailer
  14. Log on scripts for shared areas etc. If you've got applications stored on the server these will need copying over or reinstalling. You then might have to change shortcuts on workstations (depending if they go through a mapped drive or a UNC path.).
  15. The worst thing is back in the day these books were reprinted with plain covers and distributed to the Civil Service. The NHS computer system is billions of pounds over budget because there are idiots in government ordering the replacement of servers because they're not red and arguing over how they sue the computers because they have to be feed data by women.
  16. Just makes sure they're got XP or Vista Business not home on the desktop. You could look at something like FreeNAS or OpenFiler. Specialy built Linux/Unix distributions for this task. Or buy a NAS.
  17. If you get searching there are loads of threads about switches. The general consensus is cisco (proper cisco not linksys) is the best you can buy, but Procurves are easier to configure and pretty much as good. We've got loads of Procurve here, it doesn't go wrong ever.
  18. I think Dell networking kit is rebadged Netgear. Get some procurves in there. dabs.com - HP ProCurve Switch 2510-24G (J9279A)
  19. Glad to here it's all going well. I moved from a school where there was no organisation to one that operates very proffesionaly, made a massive differernce.
  20. Might be worth a look Matrox Graphics - Products - Graphics eXpansion Module
  21. I used to be untidy, my PC at home actualy has the icons meeting in the middle. However since getting my new PC at work I've been a good boy. I do have quite a few icons but they're all useful and all properly arranged. Previous thread showing the change.
  22. If you really want cheap have a look at the HP CP1510. We have one used stand alone, but we did test it on our setver and it seemed to work ok. I don't know how much use it gets, but we havn't had any issues with it.
  23. I don't carry tools unless I need them. In the office we have all sorts of screwdriver, hockey stick, snips, molegrips, sockets, Cat5 tester, labeler, hammer drill. We've also got Ultimate Boot disk, HP boot diagnostic and Netbootdisk with ghost for the odd machine that won't Pixie boot. I don't carry tools needlesly, I'm far too prone to loosing them. I'm still being reminded about some wire cutters I left in the ceiling of the english block the summer before last (even though I replaced them).
  24. Oddy enough I started by writing She and had to do a Ninja edit. I'm glad I'm not the only confused one. Can I call sheep, sheeps since I've only been aware of them since 1982.
