[K12OSN] Re: K12OSN] A few ~$200 thin clients to try

[Todd O'Bryan]

I have a whole lab of Devon IT 6020P's and they've been pretty great. My
only complaint is that with 128MB of RAM, we do have the Firefox/OOo crash
due to pixmap caching more often than I'd like. Also, the video card is a
little temperamental and you occasionally notice problems running at high
resolutions.

Overall, though, I'd probably get them again if I couldn't figure out a way
to get a better graphics card or more RAM for the same money.
