[Maced] T4L order form - zeroing PC auto allocation difficulty

[Chris O'Rourke]

Please excuse two posts one after the other.......
Nearly forgot about this from a month ago - Ian and Brad have  
reminded me.
The principal confirmed what I wrote below.
The principal was told more recently that it was OK for him/her to  
use a MacBook on the network but the kids weren't allowed  to.
Yes and it did come from the support people.
