What form that can take is anyones guess. It may well be a newer pc running windows 7 with a good monitor. I have only seen one school supply a printer in the FT's room, but guess what, no toner, and when asked for, guess what again, mei you. The problem is the logistics and arse backwards communication. We know what FT's want and need, unfortunately it's like talking to a brick wall at times. As for full internet access, well google images may well be restricted and it may run slower than in the UK or Hong Kong.

I have never had a job in China where I was not supplied with a printer and a computer-to reside in my flat. If they want me when we are quibbling over the contract and they do not concede to my basic wants, I tell them to get lost. FT's largely have themselves to blame if they do not bargain. FT's really should iron things out before they sign a contract...no sense in blaming the Chinese afterwards if things go awry that a bit of arguing the toss could have sorted out. Many companies have refused to meet my needs and I have rejected them. Of course probably no good trying to arrange a contract around your needs with the like of 'Dell' but would you work for such a place?
