Thank you to everyone that has filled out the questionnaire so far. Some really good input coming through I'm trying to keep open minded on how the solution will be designed as my research should be dictating that. Currently I'm thinking it will be flash based (as i like coding action script ) and from the backend you'll be able to change everything. i.e. where panels will be, how things will be animated, etc.

Hi all! I'm currently in my last year of university, last year I was on a placement year working in a school hence why I hang around here, and i'm wondering if some of you would please take a couple minutes of your time to fill in a questionnaire for me. Last year one of my jobs was to keep presentation screens up-to-date, I also had several quotes and demonstrations from companies trying to sell us a real digital signage solution rather than the powerpoint/flash setup we used. For my final year project i've decided to research and then build a digital signage solution which will have a web-based backend which will control a running presentation. I'd just like some feedback on wether you currently use a form of digital signage, even if you don't please just hit the "no" answer on the first question and then hit submit as these results will be helpful aswell. If there's two members from the same school on here it would be helpful to me for just one of you to fill out the questionnaire. The questionnaire is here: Digital Signage Questionnaire Thank you very much for your time

Garmin all the way When i was reading around to buy mine I heard several 'horror' stories about TomTom's. I suspect this is because they are the more popular sat-nav and some people do follow them blindly. The main reason I got my Garmin was because it was one of the only sat-navs that could get traffic information for free (via FM radio) rather than bluetoothing to my phone and using the internet thru that. I can't think of a time when my sat nav has failed me. Although its due a map update (I've had it well over a year) and thats going to cost £60 because it's all of europe which is a tad annoying!

I'd also suggest VLC

Mine is very boring. The names I normally use for online things may cause offence so I went for the name my parents gave me

Netsweeper blocked it for me aswell, but only if I went to edugeek.net, EduGeek.net worked fine. Was abit strange!

ring: Benny Hill running around tune! msg: Just some random high pitched noise that came with the phone

I used to get really nasty static shocks of my Samsung laptop.. I just put it down to the cheap trousers I used to wear to work, because they used to always get messy with crawling under desks and such.

I think it depends on what you first see, at first I could only see clockwise, but then if I looked away and looked back at a certain point i saw anti-clockwise

I had completely forgotten about this! Luckily I've got a radio clock, which confused me as it was an hour out, then when the computer was aswell I realised the clocks had changed.

I suppose you could go back to cordless handset solution using a 'repeater' to extend the signal. I'm not sure how practical it is to do this or the costs involved. I'm sure it's possible though.

Haha, Love it! Guys, we need to get rid of the A/C and install sprinklers! Let our servers grow!! Either I'm being really stupid or this is a joke...

If I were you I'd stick some harddrives in and get your self a copy of FOG. FOG :: A Computer Cloning Solution - Home
