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. 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 the Novell box to load the correct drivers, still not nice! Adrian Wells

Which is a substantial cost, relative to that of the hardware.

Hi Chris,
First, my condolences to yourself and your ysgol on the RM situation. Not sure why Chris. I am sure you have your own opinion, but my experience of RM is good. Okay they are expensive, but it ain't my money. They give excellent service using products that are industry standard. Admittedly they have tools bolted on, but this is to make it easier for non-technical teachers to use. Our network is XP and NT2KServer - nothing wrong with that my friend.

I can tell you right now that its a *stupid* amount of money. We have a ton of 133s that need going, and some modest celery 400's that just need some ram throwing in. There are other more powerful units, but we are on RM 2.4 currently. To upgrade to 3.0 we would have to *replace* the 400's as well as RM do not count them good enough for their fat client setup. A stupid cost to say the least! Also all our servers would need slinging and replacing with some rather expensive ones. Fortunately management saw the light, and we have since gone with this other company for a pure 2000 network, with the 133's as a terminal clients, the 400s with a lump of ram added, and a couple new servers to power those terminals & a snap server for 500gbs of a pure storage ^_^ Alot cheaper to say the least, and we can get those 133s done later when Above has the groats! ;) --- ian <ian.lynch2@ntlworld.com> wrote: > On Mon, 2003-05-12 at 20:13, Gareth Edmondson wrote: > > Hi Chris, > > > > > First, my condolences to yourself and your ysgol > on the RM situation. > > Not sure why Chris.

I wouldn't exactly call RM a big company. Big in education maybe, generally they are absolute nobodys. Though big companies, especially those with a captive customer base, can often offer poor service. Since even if they do lose your custom it's not a huge loss.

Not aware of any school friendly robotics or data logging stuff for Linux. I have tried persuading one of the specialist suppliers to do Linux versions but they don't think there is the demand. I guess something like Squeak could be adapted, but its time that is lacking as usual. Its rather annoying that the government give schools ecredits to buy software from approved suppliers but put nothing into open source development. -- ian <ian.lynch2@ntlworld.com>

We've had some of this :-) And it's most frustrating when they eventually result to remote access and you watch them do everything that you've already done.

If you extend your system beyond their remit will you pay extra to have their staff trained to answer your extra questions or do you support it yourself? Who is responsible if it causes problems to the RM bit? We supplied a squid proxy, they don't want to know, they supplied a Cisco router and answer every question! And just in case this is miss-understood - No I don't work for RM, I detest them, I'm not sponsored by MS, I was very happy with the help I received from the list and learnt a lot too and in this case it's our money, not the governments! :-) Adrian
