We have 8 out of 49 IBMs and none of the Macbooks yet. It's going to be
interesting.

As the SNR here at Monterey S.C. I must have all the laoptops packed and
tagged ready for shipment by the close of business 8/8/08. So this 11th
August seems spot on. We have already received a shopment of about 6
laptops (Lenovo) but are awaiting another 6 plus 6 macs (of which one is
mine)

I was told by the notebooks people that the actual collection of old
notebooks begins 11 August, and that the 30th of July is a 'flag day'.

But who knows what's right any more.

your notebook it must be returned to your School Notebook Representative
no later than 30th July regardless of whether you are receiving a
replacement notebook.

Failure to return or purchase your notebook will incur a non return fee
of $500. Returning your notebook after the deadline will incur a late
return fee of $100
