[Year 12 IT Apps] A Short Off topic Ruddy warning

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Roland,

 More offtopic -- thin clients is included at the top of page 5 of the Round 2 guidelines www.digitaleducationrevolution.gov.au 
"thin clients with virtual desktops (computer terminals that have their data and applications stored on a hard drive in a remote server)."


Regards
Kevork

That reminds me - thin client is also off the agenda for Rudd money. 
Apparently there wasn't enough interest for them to work up a panel for it.
