Goodness, what a lot of very interesting people! Welcome all!

I'm trying to install Rapid Writing on the server on a mapped drive called 'CD Roms' The program tells me that there isnt enough space and I need about 800mb The mapped drive is one of 5 - mapped from data drive. The whole drive has 197GB free The stupid thing is, this is a reinstall and I havent installed anything else in the interim I'm sure the answer is simple, but it is Friday, I'm tired and I've just had my head bitten off by an irate DH Wasn't even my fault!

And here we go again....of course Baby P was a dreadful case, but is that any reason to not help a child that you think is in danger. I'm sure I could turn up any number of similar cases in the USA Are you really advocating that a child should be left to possibly suffer Or just

This would be our main problem, along with the software that doesnt work issue: we went up to Server 2008 in the summer and lost several bits that the teachers used a lot - despite someone VERY knowledgeable giving me a hand, we couldnt get some of the stuff working and I suspect that would be the same with W7. (no way could we afford a new server AND upgrading to windows 7) As chrrb said, it is hard enough in a primary to get money for new machines, never mind upgrades. I suspect that what will happen will be that new machines will be bought with W7 on, and slowly the whole system will be upgraded I would be very interested to see how it goes in a primary as well

You are SO LUCKY - how did you persuade them?

Dear oh dear - you do like to take offence, don't you? I don't think I was berating you, just explaining why things are as they are Can you point me to the post in which you agreed that you were wrong? I can't see it.

Sorry, but I have just read through the entire thread and can see no one agreeing with you at all. Could you point me to the relevant posts? One person tells us to chill out, but apart from that every single post is in support of edugeek, explaining to you why the statistics do not reflect the real edugeek. You are right, you don't deserve the petty insults, but neither does edugeek deserve the constant sniping that you indulge in. I'm afraid that many people don't like it and if you do it you must expect that some people will get upset. As Witch said, if you stop now and start acting sensibly, all here will welcome you. If not, then you must expect the worst, I'm afraid

Exactly! RingofFlame doesn't want discussion anyway, as you see none of the points we have raised have been answered, and even her erstwhile supporters are quiet. That's what most of us do - those who have joined, lurkers, those who post, and those who don't - we all serve to make edugeek what it is - a fantastic resource for people like us to get the answers they need to enable them to do their job effectively. Is edugeek as large as it thinks it is? YES:)

She's toddled off to bed now, safe in the knowledge that she has caused more trouble.

And that's how it should be! Silliness like that is very welcome, as was alan-d's (?) use of silliness earlier. Dos_Box stays out of things as much as he can - more than most, I would say, but he has the right to decide how he wants his site to be perceived in the workplace and whether you see it is dictatorial or not is irrelevant. What hasn't happened, and I think it would be good to keep this in mind - is that no members have been infracted or banned for all this -which given the nature of some of it is very generous, IMHO, and so the stick he wields is currently, a nice small one. As he say, he just wants people to use their common sense and remember where you are.

A) I didn't say that B) You are entirely free to state your opinion about Edugeek, of course *Danielle, how is asking if people feel frisky anything to do with wanting to speak to IT people? I have never lobbied to get anyone removed and would not do so. I merely think that we are starting to travel down a road that is not the right one, and stating my opinion. Several threads lately have got really nasty - is this really where you want to go?

Oh look, there's one now - a pointless, irrelevant and 'ohh aren't I naughty - talking about sex' remark. How old are you lot? 10?

No, you misunderstand me - what I meant was that just because the relatively few people reading the thread liked it, doesn't mean that one can presume that everyone did and therefore that is the way to behave - as a company hoping to sell into this market. Whilst I do see that if you don't like something, you don't have to read it, where exactly does that end? Extreme porn and violence is OK because you don't have to look at it? (yes, I know, an extreme example but you get my point) I think that this is a cracking site and I would hate to see it go downhill - and IMHO the sort of thing that has been happening lately is not doing edugeek any favours
