Hello List

This is a little bit delicate because I am going to ask for negative
information, so please answer off-list, either at this email address or
preferably to my off-campus one ( [log in to unmask] ).

In my department we are debating between a Sony and a Tandberg
multimedia lab (hopefully 2 classrooms of PCs with teacher controls but
also for individual use).  I have browsed archives and asked around, and
I have never heard anything negative about Tandberg (except the pricing,
of course) and very little negative about Sony products.

I would like to ask if anyone (people who have been using those
manufacturers' labs, please) could tell me any pressing reasons NOT to
go with Sony or NOT to go with Tandberg.  I would also welcome anything
positive _or_ negative about ASC or CAN-8.
(however, this is on the optimistic assumption that we have a pretty
decent budget.)

I am looking for any tips about both technical (for example, to help me
know which company has "better software", also what languages are easily
supported, also maintenance of the network, etc.) and user-friendliness
(can my most un-techie colleagues learn either system equally well)
issues.

I hope that this is an appropriate question and that I have worded it
appropriately.
Thank you very much
