I never said that I disagree. I merely tried to put the issue in perspective.

I lament the passing of the eMate and the Newton as well. It was the implied image of Apple running roughshod over its favorite customer, education, that prompted me to pen a response.

It is a raw deal for educators and educational institutions. However, if a school chooses to take a conservative stance on technology purchases, it will always be behind the curve, using yesterday's technology to educate tomorrow's generation. The eMate purchase was and still is an economical alternative to the purchase of full blown desktop PC's and remains a benefit to the students [although the economical advantage is rapidly disappearing]. That it is to become yesterday's technology should have been understood from the beginning. That is what I would tell those purse string pullers.
