I was just about to post this article lol

My highschool gave us all computers as freshmen back in the day, now they give laptops (well at least recently not sure in the last 2 years) maybe they will be giving out iphones there too!

It took me a long time to pay off my student loans! And I didn't get a fancy phone or computer. :angry:

I'm sure it will be a fee in their tuition, but it's cool nonetheless.

no reason to be giving PHONES away when most high schools won't even allow them (on) at school.







What HELL does a phone have to do with education? (at a freshman/punk level)

I did not read that part (or that far?) What if you already have one of those devises?

Sounds like a pretty good publicity stunt. Because let's be honest, right now there are other phones better-suited for this sort of application. But I bet new freshmen are stoked!
