[Year 12 IT Apps] OT: Computer rollover

Wed Aug 8 16:53:38 EST 2007

I am warming to leases.  We tried our first with a mac lab recently.  The number and diversity of our
computers is tending to create tech hassles (various images) as well as user confusion (amazing how small a
change can bambooze a primitive user).
The cost 20-25% more than ownership, but this cash may be more obtainable than the extra tech staff time
needed to maintain and support diverse machines.
There is NO tax advantage for government school of course......

In this case, I agree totally with Mark...LEASE!  ...it can be written off on Taxes...and you can then upgrade
