I am with you George. I replaced my teachers old 133MHZ machines this summer with P2 400 Compaqs for around $100 each. Cost me 20 to ship. I bought some extra that I will use if they die otherwise they have become disposable computers for me. IF one dies I will part it out and get rid of it. My staff think they are the fastest machines made and for what they do it is ok for them to run. I also bought P75 17" monitors for $70 shipped. I spent around $14,000 this past summer and added 60 machines and 60 monitors to my elementary and 20 computers to the HS. Whatever we can do to save money. Put the computer thru the paces George!
