It would seem to me that a business case for a drop-in computer lab would need
the following local conditions:
1. Lack of computers.
2. Lack of connectivity.
3. Lack of suitable space.
4. Lack of skilled instruction.
5. Lack of software.
6. Temperate climate.
If a few of these conditions exist a

The very good news, for which I am extremely, extremely grateful,
The lab I saw was intended as a mobile workstation. You might be able
to squeeze more in if you never plan to move. There is a claustrophobia

Also, I would guess the biggest expense for maintaining a setup with
such varied uses would be personnel--it's hard enoug

Thank you for all the replies. Here's some questions that you - any
and all of you - may wish to provide to me on or off list.

I am not at all sure that this is the "right" group for help - but
not you, then who?
I have a realistic chance of locating several hundred 40 foot vans in
high visibility locations, mostly in Canada and the USA, but some
elsewhere. This arises, partly out of ideas as formulated long ago
