start out with 500MB of storage and we find that the Photo students always
need way more - typically 2 or 3 GB - but the programs work fine. The only

be accessed by network accounts. Our film students use iMovie and need to
work on local accounts as their files become too large to transfer over the
network without bogging it down.
