Are students' computers included (think boarding schools and colleges/universities)? What about ones that were bought through the school's academic discount? What about computers owned (and paid for) by a student group (funded by a student activities fee, usually NOT technically part of tuition), which are (in my experience) the most likely to be computers capable of running windows (by which I suppose they mean IA32-based boxes) but actually running some other OS? -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
