I hope the 7 K-12 teachers that can afford an Apple enjoy the upgrade.

An apple for the teacher.. by Kelerain · 2002-10-20 08:05 · Score: 3, Funny

So are they trying to get better grades or something? The "Apple for the teacher" thing was out of style years ago.

Brings whole new meaning to giving the teacher an apple.

I still had fun doing it you insensitive clod!

Tell me once again why these applications matter to me and the millions more like me?
I guess they don't. Better write a lengthy post on Slashdot about them.

***Or maybe Apple is trying to both show how nice their new operating system is as well as show how slow the teacher's current hardware is. With one stone they convince people to transition to OS X and they convince people to buy new hardware (or push for it in their budget if it isn't a personal purchase)***

windows has this auto built, no need to install newer os to get the once blazing fast computer to act like it had stuffed a bottle of valium up the re****. (and no need to tell this doesnt apply to 2k/xp, it does, the reg system gets pretty clogged up after doing dozens of installs of stupid software and cleaning it needs 3rd party products unless you're hc and use regedit for that..)

Sorry, I must have missed that.
