/me reads comments from Steve and Matt, blinks, absorbs, and learns a *lot*, filing thoughts away for future reference when I someday become a prof myself. Wow. Thanks, guys.
Michael - I want to give you some time and space to rethink and respond, but one thing that would be helpful to know on this end: what's your timeline for this? I'm not sure when your term starts/ends; regardless of what equipment you decide to ask for at the end, when will you need it by? I do echo the general suggestion of starting with something small and achievable and asking the manufacturer first, as from my own personal experience[0] the larger suppliers are pretty psyched when schools ask to teach using their platform and usually express that happiness with massive discounts and/or donations. Mmm, donations. --Mel [0] as a student asking for project hardware - think of it this way; manufacturers want students to learn on their stuff so when they go to work and design things that will be manufactured in the tens of thousands of units, they'll *still* use their stuff. :D _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
