hey guys i don't mean to dampen your spirits, but i got an interesting e-mail back from a guy in York, Maine:
"The state is allowing districts to purchase laptops at a reduced cost, not
general public. After we re-allocate most of them within the 4 schools,
leftovers will be offered to teaching staff only.
My advice is to buy a new machine direct from Apple."
It doesn't make sense but lets hope he's wrong....
