My understanding is that the Scottsdale public schools are replacing all 
their old Macs with Windows PCs. The change has been slowed down due to the 
budget issues from last year, but new PCs are slowly trickling in. For 
example, Ingleside Middle School recently replaced 40 or so Macs with Dell 
Windows boxes.

I have three children at Scottsdale schools, and I serve on the technology 
committee for one of them. I would be interested in helping with this 
project as well.

I would be real interested in working on this. At bear minimun he should be 
invited to the Install fest. I will volunteer to track him down if there is 
no objection
