[vet-mm] Straw Poll - Equipment funding Models used by Schools

[Roland Gesthuizen]

School:			Westall Secondary College
School Type:		State Secondary College
Outright purchase:	Lease all PC's (Curriculum and Admin) 
Lease Duration: 		3 years
Warranty Duration: 	3 years and we turn over all computers
Lease arrangements: 	IBM finance
Additional Comments:	
	Cheaper than doing all HW maintenance ourselves, spreading costs, no
shuffling gear, one configuration, nothing to sell off. Set at 1 computer
for every 4 students. We lease all projectors, photocopiers, PDA organisers,
but not servers, printers or routers and some specialist hardware. DET lease
all their laptops and cases system admin computers, I think through
Macquarie finance.
