[Year 12 Its] changes to notebook rollout program

[alan whittaker]

I'm also looking forward to receiving my new laptop, though not as much 
as I would be if the iPod offer was still current!  Another grumble.  
Have seen the wording on the Eduweb site re "return of laptop before 
receiving new laptop".  Does it mean that the new laptop is not 
actually delivered to the school until the old one is returned?  
Perhaps it is just a case of some hopeless bureaucrat at your workplace 
enforcing a misguided regulation?  The new laptop may be sitting in a 
secure safe on site until you hand over the old machine
