We also have a store that is providing Apple IIGSes to the local schools for
collecting cash register receipts.

Piggly Wiggly grocery stores in Minot, North Dakota has been providing local
grade schools with an Apple IIGS for each $100,000 worth of receipts turned
in for the last two school years.  This year (just recently) they up'd the
requirement to $150,000 worth of receipts because of the cost of the systems.
Thus far, over 200 systems have been provided to the schools since the
project started.

As for the ads, locally they have been showing drawings/pictures of the IIGS.

The systems being provided consist of the CPU, color monitor, one 3.5" disk
drive, and one 5.25" disk drive.  Some software is also included.  According
to a recent article in the local paper, the cost totals $1,500 ($1,200 for
hardware, and $300 for software).

It is great that the company is doing this.  In the beginning, I was teaching
my kids (ages 7 and 10) on the IIGS at home.  But more recently my kids have
been teaching me!
