Every penny spent was spent on them in the name of the students. I'm talking then top class Pentium machines for all the teachers so they could learn to use the internet and pass the knowledge on to the students! All this while the students were strapped down to 8mb 486dx33s with 640k unaccelerated vga boxes that took 10 minutes to boot into 3.1 if they didn't crash along the way. Then there were the field trips to places like Cuba done in order to promote understanding between the them and them others. Entire delegations would travel at taxpayer expense. A few students were thrown in for good measure. When questioned about their spend thrift proclivities each group would blame the other and nothing ever got solved. Anyway there are far better things to spend your money on than schools that don't teach anything. Javier - --- Christer Almqvist <chris@almqvist.net> wrote: > >snip).
