@Anglisc Where to start I've gave up long ago with smartboards actually working properly (esp the 5xx series ones - although I have 3 6xx boards that are also NVG) They either work well/OK or not ok (won't hiold calibration for more than 10 milliseconds even on the 1000point setting!) There are seemingly 2 sorts of people in the world - the ones where the boards always work great everytime - and the rest of us Mr Smart has NEVER EVER admitted to any product defects and has proudly proclaimed- "Just contact your supplier" to resolve any issues. Since this generally involves us having to dismount/package up a 6ft device and send it away then it generally isn't a realistic option. I've don't rant on anymore about the UK firm that has the support contract on medical advice But come the revolution there is NO-ONE before them in the line! Si PS I did once follow someones advice the day before an Ofsted and used sticky parcel tape to pull the membrane off the back of the board and it certainly had a good placebo effect on the teacher but I'm not sure it actually did anything in reality but YMMV.

@plexer - just doesn't seem to be a general one in the mix Si

To discuss things like ordering/waiting times hardware interfaces etc etc Si

But now found it under the Organise dropdown Si

I have no tools menu! - is that my actual problem? Si

For the life of me - I can't find where to set it so I can view file extensions on my server - help please! Si

@Fazza There are hundreds of thousands in people in the queue and only about 90,000 have been made so you'll have made the person who gets your slot very happy Si

Ive decided that what I need is a webcam with microphone and speakers attached at the front door so we can just use our iphones/'droids to see/speak to whoever is at the door. Anyone runniing such a system? Si

RS? Si

Sometimes I cry at peoples reading skills here RS!!!!!!! Si When did RS accept your order?

I was allowed to order my Pi on 29th May from RS. Has anyone who ordered from RS around that time heard anything recently about delivery? Si

But generally the users don't use the lan port on a laptop so prob going to be OK Si

Just got my first Epson (as seen at Edit2012) Workforce Inkjet (4525 combined Fax/Printer for 3 user primary school office) £180. Comes with (estimated by weight ) 2 pl of ink in each supplied ink resevoir though! (But had ordered a set of XXLs as well so will be fine) If all goes well, will try one out as a curric network shared printer at next opportunity. Simon

Not same pc login - I'll check to see if that user has big rights on the bursars machine (its just a peer-peer setup) - ta Si

Netbooks have the disadvanage of screen size and lower cpu power than laptops. They have the advantages of value for money and all day availability due to battery/cpu ratio. EVerthing else is the same - they are just as relaible/unreliable/prone to abuse/not prone as each other Its a simple trade-off Simon PS I'd personally class things like the 130e as something in between

I know its a common system Just wandered why I couldn't import on one particular machine - its says the rptdef file isn't valid This was using same login as bursar normally uses on her machine Just wondered if it was a common/easy to fix issue When it happened, the sec on that machine said - oh - its always done that so I was just looking for a reason Si Si

Anything obvious/simple that stops a workstation from importing rptdef files into SIMS (held on another machine via s drive) when 2 others do the same rptdef file OK? Si

I'm after replacing an SEN Laptop that needs to be able to handle 6 key simultaneous press at once for Braille use. Has anyone bought one recently? The old model was a RM NBook 4400 and the screen hinge lead has gone iffy and i can't find a replacement for it regards Simon Info http://www.duxburysystems.com/faq2.asp?faq=32

@Arthur - another thanks I don't know why some machines will automagically play swf files and others don't but goo to know there is a offical consistent way of setting them up now Si

:-) :-)

Kcom????? Si

I'd like to run a long HDMI lead from Sky Box to my bedroom but I'd appreicate some real world info 1st Has anyone run a long HDMI lead sucessfully - is so how long - where'd you get the cable? Ta Simon

This is a political compromise The ^*(((&&& dolphin just gets in the way of things - more so on a netbook screen but they've enshrined it into their AUP and don't want to not have something to replace it with. Obviously in practice, if anything dodgy gets through the filters, the kids all call out to each other to say "come and look at this" Si

@AngryTechnician - Superb :-) Si
