We ask the students to bring in the disks if we dont have a set. Over the
years we have been creating ISOs/DMGs of disks that students bring by so
that we can run off a new set to use if a student doesnt have their disks.
At this point we have a decent library, but of course we're always missing
the newest set.
I actually just had some conversations with our Apple sales engineer about
how as a service provider it would be really good to have a library of
disks, or at least the ability to download the DMGs from GSX. He said he's
heard that a few times and would pass it along, but we know how soon those
suggestions turn into reality...
