There will nearly always be a scenario you can't test for!

I would only really consider 2 manufacturers, Harkness or Da-Lite for screens. They do a good range, but they'll be expensive, rear projection always are. Virtually any projector will do provided it's got enough lumens, the firmware facility to reverse the image is pretty standard. I had a 4.5k Hitachi at my last place, I'd go for more if the room is bright.

I bought a batch of 10 lamps from them 2 or so years ago - I got less than 500 hours out of any of them and I got a proper :censored:ing from my line manager over it. Chalk it up to experience and buy genuine, my friend. It is not worth the grief.

I do it from home at a stupid time of night and it usually takes 15 minutes tops.

I've had another one... Head of music has bought a pair of Midi interfaces for the schools drum machine and keyboard. One of them set up without any difficulty, keyboard midi in from the box, midi out through the speakers, lovely. The other one. would it work, would it It kept crashing the software, the box and ultimately the USB bus requiring a restart of the machine. I've left the ticket over half term, come back to it, removed all the settings and started again - Boom, working first time. Still no idea what the problem was.

Our Canon 5235 series are coping just fine, we have 2 - one for students and staff and one just for staff, they do about 60% and 45% colour respectively.

Another happy long-time Vidahost customer here.

I spent hours troubleshooting a python script - it wasn't even particularly complex. The guy came in to do our coding club, I ran it past him, he skimmed it and in 30 seconds pointed out my line that was supposed to say sense_data = get_sense_data() actually said sense_data = get_sense_data)(

I think so... But with the proviso that whoever views the calendar and is not part of the owners organisation will not be able to change it. Whoever owns the calendar simply shares the calendar using the share button in outlook, types the address of the person they want to share it with and hits the go button. I've just tried it and it works sharing it from my o365 account as owner, to my personal 365 account.

Usb hub... WDS is fine. plug the hub into the surface, the usb boot drive and the adapter into the hub, maybe a usb keyboard and mouse (the tablets I use this with don't have touch enabled during build) boot the machine off the usb stick you made, it installs the net adapter because it either knows what to do with it, or you injected the driver into the discover image, it knows where the WDS server is because the discover image tells it, goes off looking for it, it's as if you PXEd.

do you have wds or sccm? If you do you can follow the instructions here: Windows Deployment Services: How to create a bootable deployment ISO » Eversity

No Problem, I'm In!

Shhhh... we can't have all these northerners showing up to our Very Southern meet up... (Seriously, the more the merrier, but let @AJWhite1970 know if you're coming so he can sort tables)

Startech USB 3 PXE network adapter. Or a non pxe network adapter and a USB stick. This was done for the Linx pro tablets and the Acer w510, but I've followed an almost identical procedure for w10. Things you need: a working WDS server the AIK for your version of windows 1x usb stick for initial build media 1x usb hub 1x usb keyboard 1x usb mouse 1x USB NIC card with drivers (I've got a startech one) 2x 4gb or bigger usb sticks What I did was to place the windows media on a usb drive, use the usb host cable to connect a usb hub, connect the boot usb and a keyboard and mouse to the hub and boot the tablet off the stick. Install whatever flavour of windows you want - we used 8.1 enterprise and all of your software. Sysprep the machine as you would normally Use the WDS server to create a capture image using the process in this article: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/11680.creating-a-capture-image-in-wds.aspx when the image is created, mount it in the WDS console and inject the drivers for your usb nic, dismount it and copy it to one of the 2gb or bigger USB sticks. This is your capture stick. It is architecture dependent. Use the capture stick to run through the process of sysprepping the machine onto your WDS server Follow the instructions here to use the AIK to create a discover image https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd637996(v=ws.10).aspx mount the discover image in WDS and inject the USB drivers again. Use this to boot and build the machine from your WDS server using the image you created before. Simples! Hopefully this will help you. It's PITA, but it is doable.

Holy Necrobump batman...

I've got one I'm migrating to O365 at christmas... I might do the migration, disconnect the network adapter in the VM settings and see what happens!

I think it's @The_Oracle... and with that, Salisbury, 21st December for lunch and a wander - you in?

The Oracle? I'm not sure how his username is formatted!

I'm in...

Again, federation wide assest register (Parago) and we buy our labels by the 1000 from them. they are very sticky and impossible to remove in one piece. They have a number, a qr code on them that corresponds to the asset number, and our school details.

The park and ride just outside on the Downton road is an excellent option. I'm not sure I'm welcome in Salisbury in a car. I took avoiding action at a junction in the half term last year and took out a set of traffic lights.

Seconded... He's in Salisbury I believe...

I would steer clear of the allroad simply because of the suspension. those bags are £400 a corner and well known to go around the 120k mark. I didn't find it down on power particularly. Mine was over 200k miles and went through an MOT a week before the flywheel gave up with just £100 of suspension work.

I had the 98 2.5 and I only got shot when the dualmass flywheel started to play up (huge vibration after acceleration to anywhere near 4k rpm, juddery take off) It was a perfectly acceptable car up until then. Bit thirsty, but you don't buy a 2,5 v6 and then moan about the economy. My wife didn't like it because the suspension was stiff and the car was low - she drives a meriva.

I can do either the 19th or the 21st, you said the 21st rang a bell and that you'd check... Aaaaaannnddddd...
