Mark, The same is true here in Toronto. There are three non profits here that are listed tax deduction granters and they will give a $800 deduction on a Wintel worth $250 and thuse they get huge numbers of 2,3,4,586 computers donated and they give them to schools for free. This has become the most significant force reducing Mac in Toronto as most donated computers are Wintels and the schools do not argue with donations, especially after they load them with assorted programs also donated by MSFT and other WIntellians. Most graphic houses keep equipment longer and sell/give to employees and so the Mackery available from them is far less than the business donated Wintels. I think the same type of organizations have sprung up all over the USA. Some are actually scams as they take the gold plated boards and keep those for resale to friends. Does your friend do it that way? Bill
