[LM_NET] target: feedback on teacher laptops and thin clients

[Mitzi Thomas <mitzithomas@COMCAST.NET>]

Good Morning, 

Does anyone have any informtion they are willing to share about thin clients?  What 
are the down-sides?  If you have anything to share I would be most grateful.  Our 
business manager is looking into purchasing thin client computers and would like 
any information from current users.  

Additionally assigning each teacher a laptop is another plan we are considering.  
If you have any experience with how this works or doesn't  please let me know.  
We're looking for the good and the bad.  

Post to me off-line mitzithomas@comcast.net or mthomas@gsjax.org 
and I'll compile a hit. 
Thanks in advance.
