I too would be interested in similar information. We at the University of
Michigan provide computers to our resident staff members. I am looking for
more cost effective methods of keeping equipment up to date and at a
consistent level across the system.
Also, with ethernet being installed in the residence halls, and only
about 55% of residents owning computers, I would like to explore the
possibility of starting a leasing program for students that don't own
computers. Has anyone had experience with providing a leasing program
to students?
Thanks. --Dino
