Cost cutting

Most schools could save a fortune by making the kit last longer. Upgrades to Vista at a local school has meant loads of "old" kit being skipped - working perfectly until unplugged. Just so the kids can get a whizz bang desktop experience (or in my case give me nausea). STOP UPGRADING JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN.
