Stretching the metaphor but doing it properly, M$ is
the evil demon on the Nether Plane, while Vista is
merely M$'s physical form in the MMORPG.

Especially this part (regarding UNIX/Linux), if SUA
does what I think it does:
"Windows Vista Enterprise includes features or
licensing attributes not available with other versions
of the operating system. Those features are: ... SUA
(Subsystem for Unix Applications)".

If you let me know where to come pick them up, I'd be
happy to come take up to 10 of them off their hands.
Should I contact Jeanne Malloy directly?
400Mhz still works for quite a lot of computer needs,
as my 300Mhz laptop still does many things fairly
well. I know a number of low-income folks still
struggling along at 100Mhz who would be happy for a
quadruple increase in processor speed.

May I ask why you stay away from HP? HP supports
Linux with most of its printers, especially low-end
printers, so "staying away from HP" is going to
dramatically shorten your list of Linux-supported
printers.
One thing I really like about HP is that the print
heads are on the ink cartridges and thus replaced
every time you change an ink cartridge.

Second of the two hits is
http://www.plattecountyschooldistrict.com/pchs/directory.htm
which has a link to a list of email addresses at
http://www.plattecountyschooldistrict.com/pchs/documents/PCHS07wemail.pdf,
which reveals this address (obfuscated for her protection):
MALLOYJC{Put At Sign Here if you're not a spambot}PCRIII.K12.MO.US
and this information for the email-challenged:
Malloy, Jeanne Ext.262
District Technology Coordinator
Oddly, the phone number for the high school is not to be found, but it's at
http://www.plattecountyschooldistrict.com/pchs/index.htm:
Contact Information:
1501 Branch
Platte City, Missouri 64079
816-858-2844
FAX 816-858-5140
School Hours: 7:40 a.m. - 2:40 p.m.
Putting two and two together, I'd say email or call 816-858-2844x262 and ask
Jeanne if she has any of these things left.
