    Hey!

    I could pass for a high-school student. Maybe I could get a 12" Powerbook for free...

    I knew I was growing up at the wrong time.

    bring on the p***

    Now that these high schoolers have iBooks, they will be able to fill them up with lots of p*** :-) What else is the internet for after all?

    re: Bring on the p***

    Before making such lame, uneducated comments at least read the story. The students are getting PowerBooks, not iBooks.

    re(2): bring it on

    String, it didn't strike me that the mention of "iBook" was what made the comment lame.

    Class Size

    I've driven through the area, going between Anchorage and Fairbanks. I honestly didn't know that there were that *many* students in that district.

    I came from a larger district though and had a graduating class of 42!

    Seriously, we are one of the most Wired states and computers really are the 'great equalizer'.

    All we could afford

    were the pencils... we drew on dirt.

    I think I deserve a "12-inch PowerBook G4" dam lucky kids!

    and ofcourse all the guys will try to get p*** in it... it's part of nature, death and taxes.
