I know for sure that in 2001 (when I started at SGS), our school did not have bromcoms and used the /\/\/\/\/\/\ format. Now all teachers have a bromcom register, but they still do have the book registers incase the bromcoms do not work properly (which, sorry chris, they don't always!). We also have interactive whiteboards (or at least did, until some darn twonks went and stole most of them from nearly all the schools in the area).
