| Feb-11 Cambridge University Asian and Middle Eastern Studies goes for
SIXTEEN Avantek NetTops! Here is what Steven Fagg, Computer Manager said:
"I had an extensive session with the Net-top on Saturday and
tried out a number of tasks that I thought might stress the machine. I have
to say that, in my opinion, it coped admirably with:
 | A notoriously large and slow Flash application
embedded in a web-page |
| Running the Oracle web-based Java applications
necessary to access parts of the University Financial System |
| Editing photographs in Adobe Photoshop (Elements 6)
and doing "save-for-web" format conversions and scaling operations |
| Editing web pages in Adobe Dreamweaver (CS3) |
| Handling large IMAP mailboxes in Microsoft Outlook
(2007) |
| Playing multicast web video streams with VLC |
| Running an interactive Adobe AIR application (Tweetdeck)..." |
"...In short, everything seemed to
go just fine; I've seen it to be a very capable machine for the price and am
reconsidering (upwards!) the range of uses it might be suitable for." |
