------------------
We are preparing to sign a proposal to update our lab here, and I have a
question that I'm hoping some of you may be able to answer. 
The proposal drawn up for us includes a Tandberg Partner III server with the
following specs: 60 streams, 329 hours video storage @ 1.2Mbps.
Is this average? We have a fairly small lab - we hope to have around 25
student work stations. This is our first time dealing with digital media,
and I honestly have no idea what would be reasonable for a lab of our size
(especially considering budget constraints). 
Additionally, does anyone have live video distribution for composite video
display? Is it a necessary componet, in your opinion? or one that could be
skipped for now? 
I appreciate you help with this!
