Apple doesn't reveal much information at any junction with most if its dealings. This "Field Trip" program is a great way to get students, teachers and entire educational systems introduced to the benefits of using a Mac. Great idea, and it seems like a purely innovative way to get people into the store. @Gil: It’s not really surprising. Apple doesn’t reveal much information at any junction with most if its dealings.

I mean, if a student is going to get into technology and digital media at all, Apple's going to be a big inspiration for them. But, the conflicting stories are just pretty ironic. Suing on one end, and inviting them to come be a part on the other. It’s crazy:
