So far the school has kept all their laptops, including the colored iBooks which they use for mobile computer labs. The majority of students here are using desktop computers and very few have laptops. Tom on 9/8/05 8:44, Dennis B. Swaney at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > At 12:14 AM -0500 9/8/05, To

As I said before, many of my students don't have USB on their computers since many of them are using cast off 9500 and 8500 Macs the school let go for almost nothing. That said, a USB flash drive is worth nothing to a student that doesn't have USB to plug it into. It is interesting that you were u
