Apple will definitely be a bit richer than Microsoft. Maine already signed a deal for the company to create computers exclusively for teachers and students who lived in the place. This is not in accordance to the
$100 laptop bullshit that some dumbass is promoting. It is a simple project of the state in providing quality education for their children. I'm just not sure if the laptops are for free. But I hope they'll give me one.
I don't like children that much, but I'm happy for them because they'll get to experience what it's like to use a laptop. The said project is actually a step to eliminate the technology gap between the rich and the poor kids in the State. If my memory serves me right, Maine is the premier state in America to have this kind of project. I hope they'll increase the teachers' salaries and load their libraries with more books too.
Instead of the new white MacBooks, Maine ordered iBooks for their schools. Personally, I think that the MacBooks are better because they run on the
Core Duo technology powered by Intel. The cost of the laptops was rumored less than $300 each. I just hope that the state will be able to pay the cost without its leaders corrupting our taxes.
