Now stop right there. In case you don't know I AM a Teacher and I really could use the Microsoft Office Home and Student and Edition 2007. The really great part of Notebook.com's giveaway is you can donate one, two, three, or all the computers to your local school if you choose. I chose my school, Rome High School because more than half of our students are eligible for free or reduced lunch. Many of our students do not have access to computers and with budget cutbacks we can't always provide the latest technology. I think I'm in love with the Notebook.com website just for doing this.
