Our school got into that Appletree "Apples for Schools" program and here's the deal that we get...... If we raise $110,000 in Appletree receipts, we get (drumroll please.......) a IIc+ system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (wow, talk about new technology there!) I wish that our school could convert to NEW technology like the IIGS. UUCP: crash!pro-europa!mmavromatis ARPA: crash!pro-europa!mmavromatis@nosc.mil INET: mmavromatis@pro-europa.cts.com

In Maryland, we collect cash register receipts from the "Giant" food store; Giant is an East Coast supermarket chain. If we raise about $165K (working from memory, here), we can get a IIGS. Think about it: 100 families at $200 per week = $20,000. At that rate, one new IIGS every 8.5 weeks. The program runs for 6 months (26 weeks) here. That's three new systems! And this is just from 100 families, which is probably but a fraction of the school population. When you add in food bought by "families of families," teachers, neighbors, friends, etc, the possibilities are staggering! -------------------------- Besides, what's so wrong with getting a IIc+ for nothing more than $110K in cash register receipts? Do you think that Apple should give 5 or 10 systems to every school in the country? Do you think that Harcourt, Brace, and Jovanovich (sp?) give away ANYTHING to the schools? _Brint

To get the IIGS requires $250,000 in FM receipts. *-( But, they never said they were going to give the computers "away for free"....
