Winona State University (a public university here in Minnesota) has a program that bans use of any non-winona owned laptop on their campus. In other words, public schools are not immune to this behavior. Brian On Jun 12, 2005, at 12:29 AM, Pacer wrote: My Fellow PowerBook-philes, Dude! W

Actually they allow my daughter to have the incredible opportunity of purchasing the two year old laptop from the school after she has already paid $2000 for a $799 computer at $500 per semester. They she gets a new one and the cycle starts over. They also ban un-approved laptops in the classroom

I've wondered if any of the people who are chiming on on this topic watched the keynote address? Though Apple is switching to Intel, is it going to be the 586 or Pentium family of processors? Steve Jobs never said anything about that.for all we know it could be a whole different processo

Apple is indeed going to "start" using Intel processors sometime in 2006. Check Apple's home page. Jobs made that announcement at the WWDC Keynote last Monday. However, there was no word about x86 architecture. Jobs only ever said (purposefully?) Intel processors, conspicuously not mentioning

Hey, they get them by the truckload for almost nothing and then force the students to purchase them for full retail-I should say rent them for the small fee of $500 each semester! Just another way for our Colleges to make some extra cash, so their Professors won't have to teach more than two hours
