Henrico County Public Schools is preparing to sell some of its used iBook computers that were used as the part its groundbreaking one-on-one educational initiatve that provided 23,000 iBooks to every middle- and high-school student and teacher in the Richmond, Virginia-area school district. As noted in early June, the iBooks will be available for $50 each (with a one-per-person limit.) during a one-day sale on Tuesday, Aug. 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET. They will be sold at the school warehouse (361 Dabbs House Road) on a first-come, first-serve basis. The G3-based iBooks feature 320MB of memory and Mac OS X 10.2.8. Following the county's decision to turn down an offer by Apple to renew and extend a lease on the iBooks, it exercised an option to buy the 22,000 laptops for $1 each from Apple at the end of the lease, after choosing a Dell-based PC solution for all of its high-school seniors in April 2005.
