At the school I work at we (not by IT's choosing) have used an Einstruction/CPS solution that has so far been nothing but trouble. The main differance I see between the previous (iosmart) scenerio and ours is that we use the IR technology as oppossed to the RF system. Fumbling with an absolutly frustrating product in front of a small auditiorium of student nurses really sucks, but I am glad to hear that the RF type may be less problematic. I really think that aging IR (as much as I love it for some functions) just is not the best solution. I do applaude Einstruction for a great business plan: sell the receiver units to facilty and have the students purchase the "clickers" at the bookstore for a reasonable price. Or we could always resort to the antiquated notion of raising hands, but what the fun in that? I would greatly appricate any additional insider info particularly on Einstruction/CPS RF (or other) units since it seems that this is what an increasing number of students and instructors want.
The problem with the Patriot Act is that often someone does not even know that heir privacy is being violated. Checks and balances that were put into place for a reason are stripped away leaving the possibility for abuse. I cannot say that my rights have been violated but its not like government agencies post a list of the records that they scour. I feel this legislation was hastily passed and makes me question (more so) how well our country is run. If only Slashdot types ruled the world(and their alien overlords)...
