Yea my school also needs a tech lab too. And we as other go and look for Grants. If you are a principal well you should now this. And also read the rules it may be off topic but there are still rules. No posting other sites.

Indeed, unfortunetely spam is spam, regardless of whether the cause behind it is charitable or not...if we are to allow this spam we would have to allow the same leniency to the numerous other spam topics we recieve here on a daily basis
You can, however, actively participate in this and other forums and use your signature as advertising for a banner to link people to said site...the more you contribute to our forum, the more hits your "advertising" will get...and it's free

If you are indeed the principal, your role as a representative of this school here has been rather weak. If I wanted to show support for decent education, I would not vote for upgrading the technology of a school that has given me this negative impression, when I have the choice of voting for other schools that might deserve it more.
Additionally, this whole 'FutureReady' contest appears to be a publicity collaboration of Dell, Microsoft, and Intel to promote their product packages as the way of the future, something I do not believe to be true especially in the long run. If I were in the applicable advisory position, I would NEVER recommend ANY school purchase a computer lab full of Dell products. Granted, this would be free...

What is the name of your school? I go to tampa twice a year and most my family lives around there, also what is your name? I can easily find out if this is truely infact spam, of if he is sincere.... Also my school has a mobile lab, 50 dell laptops, rather nice ones... There just as fast as my machine when multitasking and they all have 1gb ram..... Not sure on exact specs but it cost our school a lot of money....

Imagine how much they'd save on Windows/Mac OS and MS Office licenses...seriously. Even at bulk and educational discounts, the numbers add up fast. The networks would probably function better as a result too.
