We (City College) is on the verge of a fairly massive purchase of microcomputers. These will include a number of labs of 25 or so Macs. Some of these will be special purpose labs in science, mathematics, remedial writing, etc. and some will be for general access by students for word processing, use of spreadsheets, etc. Some of the many issues are : type of Mac (Plus, SE ?), network configuration if any, how to handle software (i.e. off a server ?), how many printers,... It would be very helpful to be able to hear how some places have done this. E-mail would be great. I'd love to have some names of folks to call to pursue some of the detailed issues. I would be glad to post a summary to the net at the end of the process. Thanks in advance for any help.

These will include a number of labs of 25 or so Macs. Be sure to also consider MacJANET. MacJANET has a number of very useful features, including limitting the number of people who can concurrently run an application, preventing applications copied from the network to run locally, the need for one copy of an application to be stored on the network (even for non-shareable applications), integrated print spooling.
