Not exactly newsworthy, but a good inspiration to other schools nonetheless. Let's hope some teachers read this, because education could use a little boost that costs nothing at all.

You could have done that just as easily with Windows computers. Hell, I know because I did it once myself. I once got a local company to agree to donate their old computers to my school for nothing. They already came with Windows licenses too (even had a nice sticker with the activation code right on them). Total cost $0.
