Kids are particularly prone to malware so I can't see how any school in the U.S. won't benefit by adopting Macs instead of PC's.

Wow. Iowa students get Apple laptops. Alabama students get OLPCs with no WIFI networks. Great.

Keeps the devil out.

@ChrissOne,

"Devil" is just an old concept. Each religion has it's own way to define whats supposed to be "divine" or "evil"... Nothing to do with "truth" about that foolish stuff...

@ almux

It keeps the Gates of Hell out... is that Good enough for you?

Gil Bates is the Devil! He lets his disciples into your system and it'll stop working. Only fools believe in the devil [note the lower case], and C1 is no fool.

MACs in the classroom? Fantastic. Central City can churn out pretentious and smug tech illiterates who won't know how to write a cover-your-ass e-mail in Microsoft Outlook when they forget to propose a key component in the proposal they generated in Microsoft Excel.

Obviously these kids won't be ready for the real world, but at least they'll know how to work with overpriced proprietary toys that can't play games when they get jobs at McDonald's.

Your potential. Our passion.™

It's nice to see ethanol subsidies result in something positive.

When I was in school, we didn't even have pencils. You were just given a spork and told to write in blood.

Yeah, my school was tough.

Wow, almux must be new here. Lecturing ChrissOne (sic) about religion.

@Cubert...you had a spork? You were lucky. We has to use our fingers and we also had to use saline to replace our blood which we sold for food for the table.

The Devil? You mean Nick Negroponte?

@ Cubert & Buster,
Sporks? And fingers? Oh, you were lucky! We had to grow our own toothpicks to use to pick up the salt deposits from your evaporated saline to insert manually into our veins!

We lived in a hole in the road and had to get up half an hour before we went to bed...

And the kids today just don't understand.
