Well I don't know if you are in the USA or not but last time I looked here most elementary schools had macs. I worked for an Amiga education dealer. The university bought Amiga 2500s running MAPLE for their math visualization labs. It worked great. There just wasn't that great of an amount of Amiga Education software for elementary ed based amiga schools. Although we had a few of them. Back in those days the learning company had all the good software and while Commodore made efforts, Apple's practices about buying "ONLY MACS" and giving what the schools thought were significant discounts were in reality most of the same tactics we see with micro$$$ and spreading their OS around.

Apple at the time used business practices which really hurt the Amiga getting the foot in the door and they still own the schools through high school.

Apple thought the Amiga was such a threat to that market the brought out the Apple ][gs.. Anyone remember that product??
