Buy College Education, Get Free iBook
kraksmoka writes ""The Chronicle of Higher Education has an article about how Saint Leo University in Florida is offering an iBook laptop to every incoming residential student and full-time faculty member. '... the draw of the iBooks has encouraged some of the more than 1,700 students at the university's main campus who would otherwise commute to live in dormitories, which makes the program a success in the university vice president's eyes.'" The students do not keep the computers, unless they finish two years in the honors program.
Shit, I could make enough to buy one working at McDonald's for just a couple of months! What? I'm missing something? Huh?
Yes, you are missing something. In fact, you said it yourself. It's called an education.

"Free doorstop here I come!!!"
I think he dosen't understand. These laptops won't have windows pre-installed. No need to put them into doorstop duty so quickly, you could wait till you find a lack of applications for the laptop before it keeps your doors oepn for you.
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
"Cheep"? That makes me laugh every time I read it. If you read the article, you would have noticed that the school is supplying iBooks, which are not particularly cheap.
Just sell whatever they coat their Macs in to Microsoft. What ever it is it insures that once you have a MAC nothing bad is ever said about it.
