    Perhaps the State of Maine is an exception. But is seems to me that school systems does their purchases prior to a school year. You might be correct on individual purchases from students and those whose school "requires" a particular product.

    How much is the wait on netbooks vs. macpad a factor?

    the rumours have been building for months



    all the advice is hold off until after september 9 if you can...



    so..the pattern with recession purchases is hold on for another 6months/12months to delay the update to preserve cash flow...



    some countries have an online apple store for teachers...not available to public or students



    maybe US could follow initiatives from OS!?

    Yes, this is why our school is buying everything we need this year with our stimulus money and our building project money. We will be dirt poor next year!



    There are plenty of other BS crap that could be cut from a budget before education. IMO, education should always be one of the top priorities.
