Well at least you bought your laptop.
Now that I work at the school in the summer I hear all the gossip. Apparently some Special Education Student's parents sued the school so that their "special" kid could have a laptop, a usb flash drive, and not 1, not 2, but THREE printers for only him to use. I don't know what the judge was smoking or if the school just gave in before it went to court but the parents won the case.
I'm not saying or thinking you're sped but I just felt like telling that story.
