Last night during the "Around the World..." mini-series, IBM had a commercial
about how WONDERFUL it is to use IBM computers for education.  Look's like
BIG BLUE is real interested in taking some market share away from Apple
in the educational market.  Personally, I think Apple should re-think its
strategy re the ed market, and introduce a low cost color MAC (is this the 
K-12?) ASAP.  They have been pushing the IIgs at schools around here (below 
the univ level), and if that continues very much longer, they may well lose 
a lot of $$ to IBM.
