You gotta be kidding me. whats the point of not having cd/dvd drive. all softwares will be downloaded i guess

[nismoid]

^^^ trying to find another negative to say bout the laptops aren't you!!
if they had a cd/dvd drive, ent yuh woudda say "dem children only watchin dvd and playin music on dem?"

[Bezman]

i have a CD/DVD drive in my Macbook and i honestly think I have used it twice in over a year....
also it will stop them from watching movies etc on the laptops.

software is pre-installed and like most if not all software these days it's downloaded...

[Shango_13]

no. would you want a laptop with no cd drives? its a general standard. My cousin is a teacher in success laventille school. Im helping her with editing video projects , burning and transferring data/video to the students through dvd. its required.

^^

cd/dvd rom drives have gone the way of the dinosaur, and the only people who use them on the pc are movie pirates.

usb pen drives are much more user friendly.

[nismoid]

shango13 ever heard of a netbook?
ever seen any with drives?
i feel you vex cause you didnt get one

[Shango_13]

why dont you be a good citizen and donate some of them to the students so they can do their video projects

[lostboys crew]

OMG NO DVD DRIVES NOOOOOOOOOOO

[evo-STI-k]

[AllTrac]

wey, a next thread backfire on RASC

ROFL

i think he had to go back to launching a full scale investigation on that $50 doubles change de driver had.

[brickman]

Didnt this happen before with his budget deficit rant?Is the Trinidad Express Rowley edition he gets so what do you expect.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

I heard on the Radio that this $15,000 cost is a lie that the media and certain people are making up to make the government look bad.

And that the laptops will only cost $4000

[Skanky]

RASC reminds me of this boy I grew up with in my neighbourhood.
As a child after school on a weekday the boys would meet up in the road and run a lil football or cricket or whatever.However there always was this lil egg layer who used to be first to start the fight but when fight breakout he first to run back into his yard and watch so nobody could do him anything.Always giving everybody talks but first to run away and taunt the others from the safety of his home.
RASC yuh start yuh fight now come out and fight and stop being a panty.

4 Pages & I haven't said a word as of yet.

How can a thread backfire if I haven't even stated an opinion?
...what's even funnier is that you little ppl think you can intimidate me too LOL

[eyephone]

[brickman]

[Chimera]

[RASC]

Notice I post an article, leave no opinion, edit nothing...yet I'm being attacked. This is due to the small mindedness of you people, who in person wouldn't even whisper a note.

A thread can only backfire if the OP leaves his/or opinion you dumbfucks

My Groupies are a special bunch

The price per-laptop is now $15,000TT

...as a result of my security software implemented. Now I think the gov't would've been much wiser to equip every student with their own personal security guard and pay them $10,000 a month!

Crime outta hand and you have kids walking around with $15,000 worth of equipment in their backpack...BRILLIANT!

[brickman]

Since you are still ranting without giving your holy opinion yet....

[jhonnieblue]

dawg thaz the best u could do?
come on tuner and cuss??
wow...esteemed level of education...if you did not understand by now, u did make an opinion, sadly it was wrong hence why people are attacking you
not even here is an idiot so even that statement is unsound
you could just say fellas i sorry my bad and go on and live life
stop being so small minded nah

[DFC]

rasc and he sour grapes again eh.
lol..

So Raschole u think u have a bigger and greater mind than the rest of tunerville?
u dare tell people they "small minded"

well actions speak louder than words.

[zcarz]

let me get this straight from $4K to 15K.........

15/4 = 3.75

So the new price tag of this election promise [size=200]rises from $83,000,000.00 to $311,250,000.00[/size]
rt

You still use CD/DVDs? What what pray tell?

This reminds me of when Apple removed 3.5" floppies from their laptops/macs in 1998 and PC people were crying. And I was like "wuh?".

Next time you "don't want to say a word", format the text properly and try not to highlight areas in RED TEXT.

^Lmao, it is against the rules to have dvd/cd drives in any computer that is to be issued to a school, that's why the systems came without them. If you were to submit a tender for a government contract, they would discard it if they saw dvd/rw/cd etc as it "promotes file and media sharing". It has nothing to do with mac's, or dick sizes or anything else.
