I've spent most of my life dealing with school administrators, and worked with our computer specialist very closely while our computer program was being instituted. I know a great deal about what we needed (but couldn't get), and about what influences people in those positions. I know that Apple mde its way into the schools by coming in with a complete workup to hand the administrators: sample budget; sample of a proposal to present to the school board; sample of a proposal for a federal or state grant; sample curriculum, showing how their equipment could help. They had done their homework – and the administrator was relieved of the job. So he took what they offered, and they got the order. Frequently, these administrators have full time duties IN ADDITION to their computer responsibilities. Someone else could make it into the schools, but they will have to put forth the same kind of effort, and have something better to offer. In most areas, we simply can't do it. But the Amiga offers some real advantages for students in computer programming, in the arts areas, etc., and could make heavy inroads there with the proper presentation. I don't expect to see it.
