It would be useful if you could offer more information. Why the duos, or
is it just expense? Do you need docks, or just the duo with maybe one
adapter and floppy to go around the classroom. Would a Duo be preferable
to the PB 1xx's? Why a powerbook at all, as Mac SE's or Classics might be
cheaper, and more durable, and not take up much more space. A special ed
class can be pretty hard on equipment. Have you talked to Dan Knight, at
lowendmac.com who had a list going for donated equipment for schools?
