Full Circle

From the article: "Elmhurst College CIO Jim Francis had an interesting challenge: how do you create a full service computer lab that can quickly be turned into a standard classroom when needed?"

Um ... with laptops?

I thought that was odd, too. With this, you'd have to have a dedicated storage area because the keytops are exposed, as opposed to laptops or desktops that can be stacked, and you still have the problem of having to move away 25 monitors.

They probably could have done better by mounting standard machines under the tables, and putting the monitors on arms that could fold them under the table as well. Then you'd only have to deal with the keyboards and mice, which can just be tossed into a box since they're so cheap.

I want one. Get me one.

Actually, I don't REALLY want one that badly. I just miss Ultima VII.
