The kind of functionality you describe is very attractive, but I don't think it is my best choice for a high school environment.

As much as I trust my sound techs, I am not going to hand them a laptop of mine to be responsible for, neither do I really want to sign out one from the school.
H*ll, I can't even get school administration to produce a set of keys for the console desk and rack cabinet. I have zero security for the gear in the house.

I can buy a second hand Akai or Emu and mount it in the rack at Sound. The cost should be small enough that I don't have to battle for six months with Central Offices to get approval for the purchase.
