HDL, Hi!! re: dell may want kids to use dell- rather than apple- so they will use dell in future when they (and the businesses they work for)buy computers at prices that dell can make a small profit on. Yes, it's all about brand identification...Back when our school last purchased our first large order for computers we went with DELL...DELL not only beat the others for the bid but threw back $27,000 AFTER the sale! During this same time frame I knew of no other local school that purchased anything but DELL...When budgets are tight and someone comes in low it's a big deal...And, when word of what DELL did for our school district spread...Well, who else would you ever deal with again? Best, Kemble
