[AG-TECH] electronic whiteboards

[Michael Daw]

We've just started experimenting with mimios too. They're pretty neat. VNC
works well in distributing the whiteboard, although there is a slight delay
and you have to make sure you get the settings right.

However, I don't think these quite meet all of Cindy's requirements...
