Odd that.  I am sure that I can remember going to a second user auction
in 1991 where all the machines on sale were from Prudential.  I remember
it particularly well because the prices being paid were a little (ahem)
on the high side. If my memory serves me right it was after they closed
down their property services division.

Now it is quite possible that they may have changed their policy, and
they certainly were not donating the PC's, however a purchaser may have
donated these PC's.

Of course the school may not be able to modify/install operating system
etc. without the password! (I am not familiar with these particular
machines)
