Shhh, don't mention the 'b' word!

One of the main reasons my kids' school uses macs is that the apple folks provide a lot of teacher training, every year several of the teachers get to go off on a few days being taught nifty things to do with the computers.

If I was Tame's Lawyers, I'd say he was putting a perfomance art theatre troupe together for special Maori celebrations. A kind of dramatically licensed period piece complete with old guns and flags and mock battles and shit.
Like the traditional period grenade launcher he was trying to purchase?

Yeah, its quite weird, I don't get around many primary schools apart from my kids one, so I tend to assume they're all more-or-less on a par. But last week I visited a local catholic private primary, their IT infrastructure is a whole nother ballgame - some of the classes have a scummy old PC, circa 4 years old, no sign of any networking. I think they have a computer lab, but not much day-to-day hands-on.

Same with blogs. Our kids start making PowerPoint presentations at intermediate level. But no one talks to them about a medium they're much more likely to actually use.
Depends on the school. My 6 year old's class have a wiki, and both he and the 8 year old have been involved with powerpoint whatever the Mac equivalent of powerpoint is since first year. All the classes at school have discussion forums that the kids use both in and out of class.
Perks of a shiny new decile 10 school I spose - class sets of macbooks shared 1 set between 4 classes, lappies for all the teachers, at least 1 e-mac in each class, plus the magic techno whiteboard things that plug into the teachers laptop.
The oldest has had a blog for a year or so now, but that was set up for him by me, nothing to do with school. -
I always choose my words thoughtfully
I spotted the ironicness - I just wanted an excuse to use the visual pun 20mg = ZOMG!!!!

This in itself is, like, totally awesome, but it gets even more awesomer
Nurse, we need a thesaurus in here, stat! Set it to superlative, and add 20MG of hyperbole.

And especially not with Trevor from Accounts...

Unless that domestic organisation is the Government, or the act also involves terrorising civilians, then yes.
So if your organisation blows up McDonald's stores (after hours with noone in them) to protest their suppliers' overfishing of Hoki stocks - that's terrorism. But if they do the same to local fish & chip shops, that ain't?
Or does the definition of 'international organisation' not include corporates? -
my vomit has so often had alcohol
