18 for me thats from my time being a field engineer you have to be able to swear good and proper then

My Dragon 32, sitting here in school funnily enough

Lenovo R51 in MINT condition even the battery is still good

Our county council offers employees an interest free loan to buy a bike payable over 12 months so I bought myself an electric bike for £800, love it cycling to work along the coast road, unfortunately some serious health issues have stopped me for now but i'll be back.....

Yeah you can generate QR codes for logons, print them on sticky labels and stick them inside student planners instant logon - We didn't buy them

I bought a Nook HD+ 9.1" for £129 and im really impressed with it

Have a look at these guys LearnPad - The Tablet Computer Designed for Education They'll send you a few out to try along with their portal

Is it feedback and the input gain on the mic has been turned right up?

Ok so who can supply one of these i5 version, answers on a post card

We have a door onto our well kinda balcony that's like that. As we don't use it often this time of year I tend to use gaffer tape and seal it up. Obviously no good if you need to use the door

Just wondered if anyone on here suffers from this at all? I've had it for about 10 years now since being hospitalised for 3 weeks with glandular fever. Absolute Bitch of an illness

Hi all Got a question i've got a room where I need to put in 3 VGA points. Cat5 is already in place so it's just a case of plugging in so extenders etc. What I would like to do is have it so that someone can turn up and plug a laptop in to any of the 3 points and have it instantly work with the projector switching automatically. Can anyone make some suggestions of gear? I've been looking through the Kramer range but i'm not too sure what to buy I was thinking TP-45s for the points but not sure about the receiver as it's obviously going to need 3 cat5 inputs on it and at least one VGA out has anyone got any practical experience with this stuff to advise? Ta

I bought the local school a Fizzbook in 2005 and it's still in mint condition and still perfectly usable. We paid crazy money at the time but that's because it came from Argos just after they first came out

Sacrilege, burn the heretic

It was seriously practical jape of the decade that he didn't stop moaning about it for a whole year! You can't buy that kind of publicity Almost as good as when the company responsible for filling the vending machines programmed the pricing up wrong and we worked out that you could buy something and get your money back, we then emptied the machine ROFLMAO!!

Freebie of the day for me was the Game of Life marketing edition I got, dead chuffed with that. I remember a few years ago Promethean having little rubber activote handsets. Over the course of the day we managed to swipe 32 of them, once we got back we bought a cheap flight case and told the head of ict we'd won a class set. Pmsl!!

Of course we do judge companies on the quality of the freebies given away

Eh? When we went the 5 of us just wandered in and got chatting. Perhaps you were just unlucky with it being busy? They couldn't have been nicer and friendly.

Pmsl well at least they learnt for the 630's and 4530s and 4730s totally screw less access via one huge panel. I feel your pain

Are they actually dying? Had a number of cases of W7 telling porkies over batteries failing, to the point of having to disable the balloon messages warning you about the battery

Thanks v much reply sent look forward to seeing the quote.

OK you suppliers, who wants to sell me a server? Make/Model don't mind although have been looking at HP DL380 Specs: 2x Intel Xeon 2450/2650 Min 16GB RAM 3 or 4 100GB Intel Enterprise SSDs DVD drive Rack mount kit 3 year onsite NBD warranty, extendable in future years to 5 years Total budget absolute max of £6000 Feel free to PM me about it.

If you can live with the space required and the "relatively" low print speed of 20ppm for both black and colour then I recommend the HP Laserjet Pro 400 M475dw, costs around £500 and has the usual stuff you'd expect: scanner printer copier fax 20ppm print speed duplex wireless network Compatible toners cost around £36

Thanks guys I thought about the read/write cycles. Reading doesn't count it's "just" writing that counts towards any degradation and these are enterprise class SSDs at £600 a go so i'm guessing that it would be ok for some period of time, they only have to last 4 years or so I suppose. Thanks for the suggestion i'll send him a message and see what the end result was.

Afternoon It's new server time and I see Dell now offer SSDs on their servers. I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on running the new CMIS server on a well spec'd server on SSDs?
