<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry for the off topic post. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My school is looking at getting rid of our computer labs in favour of a school wide student laptop program. I was wondering if anyone else has any experience in this, especially in terms of software compatibility issues and authentication
of student SAC tasks. What should we be looking out for? and finally if anyone has any compelling arguments for keeping the labs.
