One to One Project: Development Notes
Presentation timeline: TBD (Mid-to late October)

Sofware expense estimates based on current pricing: Microsoft includes o/s and office suite - 325 copies at 46.59 ea. = 15,141 Increase to 1025 (add 700 more) +32,613 per year increase Total for 1025 = 47,754 (may be less for office suite only - waiting on pricing from cdwg - depends on actual quantity)

Potentially purchase one time copies for students - may run into version conflicts if we upgrade school machines. (Consecutive version are pretty forgiving - run into trouble on wide discrepancies.


 * Other options for Office Suites:** Open Source titles: SubEthaEdit, [|Neo Office] (just released a new aqua verison) - or review native Open Office port for Mac ([|developer notes and timeline] or the [|current version] (X11 emulator required) which is available for PowerPC chip and new Intel Macs.


 * Other major titles to consider:** Macromedia Suite Site License

Still waiting for updated quotes on bulk purchase estimations using current pricing 700 at 1405ea. = 983,500 Detail lease structure costs:
 * Apple Pricing Options:**

due dilligance should also include pc's. Vista??
 * PC Pricing?**

with a $100 deductable is $50-$60 / year Should we consider self-insuring? At that rate when we get up to speed it's $35,000 / year (based on 700 computers) We would have to completely trash more than 25 computers to see a realized savings. Perhaps we can get some repair expense / replacement ideas from Suffield. It may also be more convienent to use safeway for the first few years untill we get all the kinks worked out and not have to be concerned with budgeting seperate money for repair/replacement. I like the idea of having the parents responsible for the insurance as a "lab fee" DD
 * Discussable section...**
 * Safeware Accidental damage insurance;**

what to do about graduated students in regards to repairs - is the warrenty, if any is still remaining, transferable ?

Wireless** Some of the wireless points are currently being installed for the teacher aspect of connectivity. A complete review of the entire structure is planned for this summer to insure not only coverage but throughput as well.
 * Infrastructure:

More layer 2 switches will need to be incorporated. Is the bradford box still a viable solution for non-rogue access 35K
 * Switches**

3 additional at 32,000= 68,000 (+benefits?) student help desk possibilities
 * Technician/s Support Options:**

Floodbrook: Suffield: Maine (various sites):
