#12That was a sweet story. Now let's turn to the comments and hear all of the cynical reasons I should be mad.

#13At the Apple Store in Santa Monica there's a deaf employee and he talks to you typing on an iPad. It was actually a pretty cool experience and I particularly appreciated it since both my dad's parents were deaf (but I do not know the sign language, they were extremely good at lips reading)

#14Calling it. They went store to store buying Macbooks. Multiple sets of laptops just for a social experiement?
What kind of IT department would allow the KIDS to get the computers they need. And with no bulk discount, what school would allow that?
This happened in his dreams.

#15That school really should have dealt with the Apple store directly. I'm guessing they would have gotten better than the standard educational discount that way.
Also, wow, please don't map "escape" to cause navigation on your website. That's super annoying.

#16It's a nice story but the MSRP of that 160GB MacBook was $1,499.00. So the kids paid $22,485. So it's comparing Apples with common everyday oranges. (Pun indended)
How is the price of the laptop relevant at all to the story?

That's a Squarespace thing, can't be helped.

> What kind of IT department would allow the KIDS to get the computers they need.
I would guess that this is something more like a 20-kid Montessori school, than a regular big-building public institution. The kind where there's one teacher (who does things like run field trips as sociological object lessons), and no IT staff to speak of, but which has a big budget nevertheless due to the high tuition cost of private education paid by the (rich) parents.

They weren't asking for MacBooks at every store, that would be silly.

I don't quite remember which product had just released that morning, but it was the kind of thing that had attracted a long line of campers outside the entrance the night before
Seriously? You work at an apple store, it was supposedly your most memorable experience, and you don't remember what product was being released? It's not like they have hundreds of products. Sounds fishy.
