        But if you get a "generic clone," be sure that you do your 
research.  Much of what is out there at the electronic superstores
are of very poor quality.  If you're going with PCs, look at PC Mag
or PC World or some other source which rates the services of each.

        As for PC or Mac, I have a PC and love it, but I also 
do not feel that there is a huge difference, especially considering
your purpose.  It may help to look at what your district is doing.
Mine, which is the large, Greater Louisville school system, offers
both PowerMacs and Compaqs for each school.  My school, which is
upgrading in the next few months, went with the Macs, simply because
the overall package is better.  But if you're in a smaller district, 
then it may be the same across the board.
