If it's for education, why did Apple go back to the tray loading CD drives? We had so many problems with students and those CD drives on the earlier iMac's. Students would play with the mechanism, draw on the lens, remove pieces. Yes, a bit of education should prevent this. You would think. Kids will be kids.
With the introduction of the slot loading iMac's, service calls went way down. The odd call for garbage being inserted into the drive and some teachers trying to use the small CD's. With the older iMac's, to prevent the students from playing with the drives, we inserted junk CD-ROM's into the drive and locked them in with Fool Proof. I think the eMac is what education needed, but I hope they will switch drives in the future. I also hope they will keep the 15" CRT iMac for it's price advantage.
