This tidbit is from:

Ken Stoneburg, Wizdom Microsystems, Inc.

Beaver Creek School, a K-8 small rural school in Arizona with 
approximately 250 students, has been going through a technology literacy 
program qualification. If we qualify, we will receive grant moneys to 
purchase equipment and training to achieve our stated goals.

During this process, an industrious 8th grade student also part of our 
team, Sean Merlin, created a survey for the students asking for their 
input. The last question was this: "What type of computers do you like" 
and the choices were IBM or MAC.

3rd through 8th grades were surveyed and the results were, (surprise 
surprise)

IBM - 46
MAC - 72

Children are truly smarter than we give them credit. Kudos to Sean for 
knowing his stuff, too. One smart kid with a computer and presentation 
skills.
