Apple tries to recover in the classroom

Apple Computer announced on Monday that it will sell as many as 63,000 iBook computers to a Georgia school district in one of the company’s largest education deals ever.

The sale is part of a new program, which, as previously reported, will provide 17,000 iBook G4 laptops this fall to all teachers in the Cobb County School District, as well as to students at four of the district’s high schools.
