Requested a New Bulb for Old Infocus LP280

I requested a new bulb for the old Infocus LP280. I minimize the on time to strectch out the life of the bulb. What is really nice is that the science teacher and I use it all the time. The kids benefit more than we do, of course. It makes it easy for us to present information, and it makes it easy for our students to absorb that information. Can you say Spongebob?

Thin Client Dreams

I am still working on a Thin Client setup using a Linux Server and 9 or 10 pc laptops. I want to set up a dual boot on each laptop so that we can use the pc XP side and use the Linux side also.

Old Apple ibook

I have been working on an old Apple ibook, I installed the new browser I found that works with less than OS 10.2. The caminobrowser is located at: http://caminobrowser.org/

The browser works fine, but the Apple 45W Portable Power Adapter is pretty much shot. I am in the hunt for another one. That works!

Project after Project after Project

I know, I know, another unfinished project. I am hoping to actually get some of these going, but my students and their needs come first. That is why I am persistent in trying to get my projects going. I know that in the long run, my students will really benefit from some of the projects and that I will improve my practice as a teacher.
Current Projects

Googlesite (where each student posts assignmements)

and the newest ones

Linux Thin Client Dual boot set up (XP on one side and Linux on the other)
