Re: [info-tech] mobile cart
Jeremy, We actually have 3 of the Bretford carts with the cable nightmares and I'm wishing to find a better solution for the 125 laptops that will be coming my way soon. I'm convinced after lots of searching that I'm just going to have to design my own cart. I have yet to see a cart for 14"+ laptops that you can easily take out cords if needed to plug in and yet still have a place to tuck them away for charging that's not crammed in on top of the laptops. Thanks for the input everyone! Beth On Oct 27, 2010, at 5:53 PM, Pearson, Jeremy wrote: I have some older Bretford carts that I would probably be willing to part with. But, they do have a cable nightmare. If you are looking for a complete solution using PC netbooks, I would highly recommend the Dell 2110 and their cart. Netbooks slide into the cart, no cables to mess with. Very cool. They are a little proud of the setup, as a cart with 24 netbooks fully-loaded is $19,000 or so. You are welcome to come over and check one out though.

See if that helps. I am pulling from memory, but I think JMC has a problem with Macs connecting via a SMB share. The Mac locks the files from anyone else using them. I think if you go through an AFP share you don't have those problems. Not sure if that will fix your problem, but JMC has had that issue for years. Maybe this has nothing to do with your issue.

Re: [info-tech] JMC problems
I have tried both afp and smb and neither will let me connect now. So do you think it's one of the Macs blocking the others?
