1 Stretches the budget without sacrificing computing quality in schools
The good: Cheap; Little desktop footprint; No infrastructure upgrades .. easy on electricity as well
The bad: Sound diminishes; cheap headphones will not work; 17" monitor max; No Usb drives for terminals ..
Product is interesting and has vast potential.
The good: Inexpensive with much potential.
The bad: Horrible technical support. The company barely supports the product. No Vista support.
Just called their tech support - does support USB - their software assigns the ports on the host. I found techsupport to be OK, and they have a good online resource.
Also tried a 19" WS - stretches OK.
The good: runs photoshop - wow
The bad: no VISTA (but they said something about Server2008 being a replacement)
It works nicely and doesn't cost much, but as of right now, our entire tech department can't get sound.
We have sound on the host computer, but no sound across the client computers...
The good: Cheap, Effective, and Low Maintenance
The bad: No sound on Dell Dimension 3000 client PCs running windows XP media center...
