Re: Target: Avery Key

[Sandra M Barron <sbarron@TENET.EDU>]

We have TVs, computers, and AVerkeys in all of our classrooms.
(Willowboxes also do the same thing.  Those are at our junior high) This
little black box attaches to the computer and interfaces with the TV to
transmit the computer screen to the television or monitor.  They are great.
Occassionally, they fail to work mostly due to the incorrect sequencing
of buttons being pushed.  We have 32 inch TVs in the rooms and if your
type set is 24 or above on your computer, the writing can be seen from
the back of the classroom.  Our tech director took care of purchase since
it was a school tech upgrade.  I think they run about $1000. I've seen
them in some computer accessory catalogs for general purchase.
