Im no techie...I do know how to identify a problem.
So Joel is a techie student or something, no doing a BT. What is offered is
not suitable for his needs. And At a Guess he is not the only student that
may have these requirements. To go to what business s get he would need a
2nd student loan.
Now have a look at schools, Primary and Intermediate have available, send 35
or 40 machines from a ICT class, how to use a browser, have the Office lady
in putting daily pupil data, and the Principle reading the NZ Herald on
line....
Or go Commercial, the costs are huge.
 The home user is basically ok, small business are getting ripped off
 The education system in this country, schools and many students, neither of
the above alternatives are suitable or apply.
Lets not forget the directors responsibility to the shareholders, the
shareholders are off shore, so it doesn't matter to them.
So in the mean time...while the education sector doesn't have better
alternatives...they make more money.
Joel is right to be upset...and so is anyone else who has children at the
local Jnr schools.
(I do not know what is available at High Schools or Varsities

Have a Nice Day
