It was a profitable meeting and one I hope is going to enable us to provide a few more teachers with Apple Macs to tryout in school. I hope that at least one representative from Apple will be at the dinner on Monday and hope that some of you will take the opportunity to speak to them. I have given Lara the Apple Mac Blog link so that she can dip into your posts and follow the journey that we are on. See you on Monday.

I have attached a short movie to show you what to do. I think that it would be useful for you to add the contents of your initial email as a comment attached to the post in your blog and then I will do the same with the response. I’m sure that other people might want to do this.
