Apple computer launches its education-specific desktop computer, the eMac. Most notable about the new release is the $US 1000 price tag, making it a much more affordable solution. On the other hand, I have been recommending on this list that schools *not* buy desktops - wireless portables are the way to go, so each student can have his or her own computer (rather than a shared desktop) (people who question this don't really understand computers yet - a computer is an intensely *personal* technology - the idea of computer labs flies against that - no person will make the investment in time & industry in a computer lab that they would with their own machine). Short article with links to Apple's publicity.
