[senit] computer trolleys

>another 'just a thought', probably silly, but are you SURE they really need to be trolleys?  We work with lots of teachers who have agreed in the end that putting the computers on ordinary tables or height adjustable tables works better as they tend to have a bigger surface (for interfaces, alternative keybards, joysticks etc.) and as they are all at a single height keep the monitor low enough for touch screen use (whereas trolleys with shelves tend to lift it too high)
