Just had the head of a county school board call in and ask if the Mac
repair shop I work at would be able to handle support and repair on
30,000 new iBooks they're getting in within the next year. Looks like
not all places are switching away from Macs.
As for myself, after a year of fighting with a Palm Pilot, I just
picked up a 2100 off of eBay ($45.00-J&K barebones) and am loving it.
Wish I could have afforded a 2100 several years ago. So much fun.
Can't wait until the end of the month when I can start keeping track
of milage on it and I can give my Palm away.
