Gary, see if you can get the techo to enable one port in a lab to be a 
dedicated  line going to a server (or an older pc) which will have the 
netbook image on it.  Then the student will be able to plug their 
netbook into the port and reimage their own netbook.   It takes about 
ten minutes and the student can do it without needing the techo.  That 
is if you are using symantec ghost.  I am not sure about the process for 
acronis though.  I hope this is a help. 
:)
