[Offtopic] Security for student laptops

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Ours will be on trolleys in staff rooms. Each staff room has about 20 staff
with two trolleys secured when not in use against a far wall, each holding
14 Macbook laptops. I'll appoint a nearby staff member as a booking and
charging custodian. Perhaps a couple on loan from the library. Just working
out modifying some library book boxes to contain 14 netbooks each (light
enough for a student to carry). iPad has some excited .. :-)
