As a matter of interest, how much does it cost the school to keep up with RM?
It costs us, in addition to maint. contracts on the servers (which we would have anyway) and ISP (which we would pay anyway), a little under £200 per machine (one off) for the office licence & the RM licence.
Which is a substantial cost, relative to that of the hardware.
Their is a plus side, I insist that we by PC from RM for "compatibility reasons" otherwise I am (was) forced to purchase the cheapest kit going which meant that sometimes I might have as many as 5 machines with the same spec. This is murder from a maint. point of view although I ran batches on
What RM never change the specs of machines they supply :)
the Novell box to load the correct drivers, still not nice!
