(10-12 classes, +office computers and a 25 computer lab) Would laptops or desktops be better? Hardwired or wireless? Helping a friend! http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1087625 What hardware (servers, switches, access pts,routers etc) would be needed to make a computer network for a small school? (10-12 classes, +office computers and a 25 computer lab) Would laptops or desktops be better? Hardwired or wireless? Helping a friend!<br /><br />I would use either use a NetGear Prosafe or Linksys RVL series router with a standard 10/100 Switch. Going wireless wouldn&#039;t be a bad idea if you&#039;re other option is to run cable. It would probably reduce the cost and deployment time quite a bit. But it depends on what kinds of things...

You&#039;ll have to check your torrent client, but I think the default is 6881. It wouldn&#039;t be a bad idea to change that too. That will help your speed.

They make special outdoor LCD&#039;s which have super bright backlights but short of retrofitting something like that in your laptop, you&#039;re outta luck.

Now they are offering something new, a box that works as a TiVo, where you can record and playback was you watch the show. Is it worth it?<br /><br />Absolutely! With so many shows these days that I like to watch, they often either overlap or I just don&#039;t have time to watch them right when they air. I use my DVR all the time. It&#039;s also really nice to be able to rewind and pause live TV. I couldn&#039;t live without a DVR anymore.

You&#039;re filling someone with knowledge. Fire seems more destructive. I think the lighting of a fire would represent something bad that had an adverse effect on your education, sort of like boiling the water into vapor.
