Yeah, it's rather awesome. They have to be returned when you leave the school but you also get a wireless internet dongle thingy which is really handy. Thing is they've blocked practically everything on the internet, all discussions forums, social networking sites, web email, etc. (They're meant to be for people without computers/the internet for use for homework, etc) It's not the kind of thing you'd expect from my school (for anyone who knows the area I go to Chamberlayne). The rumour is that no other school wanted them so we got loads (although I doubt it's true). -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------
