***Ot to Katherine, Re books vs PCs for schools. I'm shocked. Spend $1k on books rather than on a PC!!! This is definitely not an either / or situation. It definitely is a both / and situation. There is absolutely no reason why schools shouldn't allocate appropriate percentages of their budgets to both books and PCs. Incremental funds seldom arrive in $1K increments. Besides, any child may go to any public library and borrow any of the classics at no charge. (in North America at least). Becoming computer literate may be the most important skill the school system could impart to kids. ... and today that takes PCs. FWIW. Ian.
