If you were child you would likely be less impressed by a Mac+ (keep in mind
that school boards don't have the money to buy Mac II's) The small B&W screen
and garbage sound does not retain the child's interest for long. Once all of
the menus are pulled down it's off to other equipment. High schools and above
are going IBM since they are looking to prepare their students for the
machines they will likely use upon graduation, regardless of how bad they
suck. If Apple were to donate 10 Mac's to every school in the world it might 
make an educational machine once the // software was ported until then the GS
is THE educational standard (ESA anyone?).
