I think that this is a vital issue, particularly in schools where students and teachers publish PDFs on their Intranets. For me it is a "must-have" feature when comparing browsers. It is one of the reasons that I keep coming back to using Safari.

Of course, that depends on the size of the PDF, and how long it takes to download. Which brings up another Safari "con" - by default the status bar is hidden. Easily fixed though, but annoying in a school deployment situation. Once you can see this status information (View > Show Status bar), you can see the progress of the download. And another "con" - no "Home" button on the toolbar by default. But I still think the "pros" outweigh the "cons".

I still don't get it as I have a similar imac with 10.2.3 on it and 2.1.2 imovie, but I have no problems selecting any jpg file from anywhere on the computer.

As I outlined in my last email on 5 March, providing more computers or other ICT equipment has big and potentially costly ramifications for us like compatibility within the system, software licensing, power supply, storage and security, just to name a few. Indeed the Commonwealth in its application process and associated guidelines for the first round of funding asks principals to take into account these issues in applying for funding. The aim, of course, is to use the available funding to effectively increase the numbers of computers available for students in years 9 to 12. I let you know in my last email that I'd asked Stephen Wilson, Chief Information Officer, to work on identifying a solution that gave us the best result as/ a system/ of public schools. Stephen has met with delegates from the Secondary Principals' Council, Primary Principals' Association, Federation of Parents and Citizens' Associations of NSW, Office of Schools, Curriculum Directorate, Centre for Learning Innovation, Regional IT managers and computer industry representatives. While it's still a little early to fully describe the proposed solution for us as a system of schools, I can assure you that everyone who took part in meetings to discuss the issue have been very supportive of the proposed solution. I got very positive feedback when I met last week with the Secondary Principals' Council and Primary Principals' Association delegates. Our overall plan is to move over time to a 1:1 ratio of computers to students in years 9 to 12, and use our combined buying power to buy a specialised high-end educational laptop. But this will only work if we all act together, so I ask schools that have been invited to apply for round one funding to submit an application before the due date based on the attached pro forma. *Please apply for laptop computers, and only for laptop computers. * *The Commonwealth will give the department the funds associated with all approved applications so we can arrange procurement and delivery. * *We will only endorse applications for laptop computers in round one, and cannot offer technical and other support to anything other than an application for laptops. * For those technically minded I've attached a short summary document which outlines the benefits of a specialised high-end educational laptop. This approach -- choosing laptops not other equipment -- has the full support of the Secondary Principals' Association, the Federation of Parents and Citizens' Associations and the Primary Principals Association I'm sorry I can't give you the full details of our preferred approach but I will write as soon as I can to fully describe it. If you need help to complete your application please contact your regional ICT manager.

However different jurisdictions can place other qualifications on how the money can be spent. In Queensland, State Schools are discouraged from purchasing thin clients but individual schools can make their own decision on whether to purchase laptops or desktops - depending on their school ICT vision. You will have to find out if your jurisdiction has any "qualifiers" - obviously from the NSW Director General's blurb below they are looking into providing low cost laptops (which probably precludes Macs from being part of the equation in NSW).
