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.

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?

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

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

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'.
