    That is in fact what my high school has now done.  A few years ago, a 
roomful of //e's were given away to an elementary school, and (gasp) ICON's 
put in their place. >:-(  However, the resource department did get one GS 
for the remedial program (which was basically used as a fast //e).  
Recently, the computer department purchased another GS and stuck onto the 
end of a Mac network.  Apparently the teacher-in-charge wants to try a few 
things with the GS->Mac SE->{LaserWriter|other Macs}.  System 7.0 and 
Personal Appleshare fit in there somewhere as well...
