It may or may not be feasible to try to "educate" your legislators. If
KY is anything like IL, the mantra seems to be, "The more money we spend

Similar thinking here. I work part time at a small school. Until now,
when we wanted computers, I'd go to auction and buy a few. THe sort of
thing you folks cast off after about three years. Last time I want (must
be a good six months and more ago) we bought an assortment of DELL
GX2{4,6,7}s and HP Compaq EVOs.
When one broke, it went in the bin and I deployed another.
The nice Mr Rudd thought we (all schools) should have new computers: in
our case, those are the HP DC5850s I mentioned. New screens too. Now, I
suppose, when one breaks we should have it fixed.
