It is so ridiculous. There is no way taxpayer money should be used to purchase something as ridiculously overpriced as a bulk load of MacBooks (a few for school use, fine). This school board needs some serious management changes if they're greenlighting this sort of purchase when there are much cheaper options.

It's worse than that. My friend's son goes to a school here in Seattle where they require the parents to buy each student a MacBook.

Talk about stupidity. Yes, certainly, we'll force parents to buy their kids (not known for lack of clumsiness) laptops (known for failure when dropped) - and we'll pick the most expensive laptops out there!

Other studies have shown that HSV1 has a mechanism by which it alters the creation of the amyloid proteins, and also tau proteins in nerve cells - the same two substances which are rife in Alzheimers'.

The same team that did this study did the study on the protein mechanisms too.

Yep, I'm a huge big quivering plate of lime jello. You won! Enjoy!
