标题: [电脑] 百余台Mac惨遭学校遗弃 [打印本页]

作者: 雷飞 时间: 2009-8-11 12:59 标题: 百余台Mac惨遭学校遗弃

美国佛罗里达州萨拉索塔县一所小学，把上百台仍然可以正常工作的Mac丢进垃圾堆，原因竟然只是为了实施学校的“PC-only”政策。
据悉，在这所名为Emma Booker学校的垃圾堆上，有140台G3和G4，50台iMac。这样做是学校负责人Gary Norris的决定，他公然宣称学校的系统应该只允许使用PC。虽然该县有一个针对学校的计算机捐赠项目，叫Texcellence，主要是把计算机送那些给需要的孩子，不过这个项目都是拒绝Mac的。该项目发言人Laura Breeze 表示：“我们从不使用Mac。”他们最近收到了他人捐赠的1100台PC，这所学校打算把这些PC清洁并装上系统之后再送出去。

我很欣赏那个发言人

美帝国就是令人羡慕啊，以前我有个舅舅在新加坡，常常捡人家的东西回家，说几乎像新的。人家是工程师，有钱淫。但是看到新的情不自禁。

贴出来下面的原文，估计165也看不懂

谁好心就把最后三段翻给165听听吧

只能证明：没文化，真可怕

The cafeteria at Booker Elementary School Tuesday looked like an Apple Macintosh computer supermarket – except the machines were not for sale. They were gathered for scrap.

More than 140 G3 and G4 laptops and more than 50 iMac and eMac machines were headed for salvage; not resale, not reuse, but salvage.

While the computers are not state-of-the-art, they remain usable. In fact, there is a lively market for used Macintosh computers. The oldest eMac still sells for $100 on the Internet, with other versions selling for $300 or more. Used iBooks sell for between $350 to $500. The total retail value of the Booker haul probably exceeds $50,000, based on prices seen on the Internet.

Sarasota County Public School system employees who alerted the Pelican Press to the salvage effort asked not to be identified because they feared retribution. "All of the machines are still working," said one. "The teachers asked if they could buy them or give them to the kids. We were told, ‘No.’"

The Education Foundation has a program called TeXcellence, to give ex-county and ex-school board computers to needy students. "But we’ve never used Macs," said foundation spokeswoman Laura Breeze. The group recently received 1,100 used PC computers from Publix and is refurbishing them and adding software before giving them out.

The Macintosh "pogrom" reportedly began when then-Superintendent Gary Norris came to town and declared the school system would be PC-only. A variety of students and teachers protested – including sending letters to the editor. Even though Norris is gone, the surplus declaration for Macs continues.

The school system, at the urging of joint county-school board information technology chief Bob Hanson, entered into a leasing agreement with Hewlett-Packard this year to replace all school computers with HP machines as existing computers aged beyond five years. The Booker "Mac massacre"– as another teacher dubbed it – is part of the five-years-and-out effort.

One reason school officials decided on salvage rather than resale is the possibility that students’ personal information exists on the hard drives, a district spokesman said. However, a built-in Mac program called "Disk Utility" needs only a three-click operation to erase the hard drive to CIA specification.

"We used to sell them at auction," said district spokesman Scott Ferguson. "But a Charlotte County deputy found a bunch dumped on the side of the road, so we stopped."

The salvage also includes the power adapters, which sell for $30 apiece, as well as computer mice, cables and other gear. At press time, the school district had not been able to provide the name or location of the salvage company, the bid price or terms of the contract.

In the current economic climate, sales of PC machines have plummeted, but Apple Computer continues to set sales records. The market share of Macintosh computers continues to edge upward. Last month, a market research firm claimed Apple held 91 percent of the "revenue market share for computers costing $1,000 or more in June."

A March 2008 survey by investment bank Morgan Stanley indicated, "roughly 40 percent of college students say their next computer purchase will be a Mac, well ahead of Apple’s current 15 percent market share in the demographic."

This fall, every student from grades 7 to 12 in the State of Maine will receive a Mac laptop. Meanwhile, the students at Booker Elementary are losing theirs.

G4的确不行啊，不能安装新的OX系统，随即很多新的软件，诸如：CS3,MSN等就不能使用。更别说G3了

中文的全文，选择性失明比没文化还要可怕

很多人都很惊讶，当前的经济环境本来就不好，而且一所学校居然会做这样的事。
