Most of the local schools had Apple II's until about 2000 when Microsoft (through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) and Lockheed-Martin came in and donated 7,000 Windows NT machines to the local school districts. They also set up a purchase program where every teacher qualified to purchase a new laptop every year for about 1/3rd of the retail price. Now the local schools get about 1000 machines a year to replace old and worn out machines.
