Well, there are rich schools and there are poor schools.  You most likely
contacted people working in the schools that are able to get ample funding.
When the schools receive grants for 'new' computers, mostly it goes to buy a
large amount of cheap computers.  At least that's the way it is in
communities without much funding.
