I thought from your previous posts you were in favor of these programs. I guess I misunderstood. Is there anyone other than deal makers who think this is a good idea?

Al Gore?

No one that I've met. In my personal opinion, this laptops-for-every-student deal is 1) really about closing that "technology gap" that Al Gore liked to talk about so much, and 2) as I said in yet another post, it's just the latest fad-- a very expensive one, at that.

Apple is going to make a killing with this fad because all of those worms and viri out there prey on Windows. Of all the issues created by students having these 12" Macs, their laptops are not being laden with such trash. I can't imagine how it would be if they had Windows laptops. [Having said that, and having one of those 12" laptops myself, I still wouldn't by a Mac.]
