[quote] We recently announced that the Andhra Pradesh is deploying NComputing in 5,000 government high schools to benefit 1.8 million students. [/quote] The figures don't compute in terms of students per school. And, if they were really computing, to derive optimum (read: not maximum) benefit for the students/curricula the # of instances deployed would have to be on the higher side.
