Oh Wise LM_NET Friends,

I need your help in gathering research data about school districts and
computer platforms supported.  Our District (10,000 students) is pushing

to go to one computer platform only (Windows), even though most of the
elementary schools and half of the middle and high schools are using
Macs.  I believe this is in an effort to reduce our TCO (Total Cost of
Ownership), plus the fact that our experienced Mac technician is about
to retire.  As a Mac fan, you won't have to convince me about the
virtues of Macs; rather, I hope some of you can point me to recent
research data or unbiased articles on this topic.  If you can do that,
could you please email me the information directly?

Many, many thanks in advance!
