Your school did not get it for free, much like that Christmas gift you got, didn't come from Santa and it was your parents or relatives who bought it for you. Because you didn't pay out of your own pocket, does not mean that entire setup is free. Dell probably got some tax benefits for giving your school that gift or your school made some deal and got a major discount.

Could have been a State or Federal Grant. I worked at a HS, as one of the Net Admins, that got a huge grant and we upgraded all of the PCs along with a similar lab to the OPs. If that is the case, then yes it was free for the school.

Why would I get worked up. My school had new system too during my time in class, so it's all good.

 

Sorry.  Your comment about Santa made me unsure if you were in a good mood or not.

 

My mistake sorry.  ?

Yeah, it was a complete reconstruction in order to meet earthquake standards. The entire old building (which was almost 100 years old at that point) was scrapped and it took 3 or 4 years to complete the new one. 

Ah.  That makes sense.  Though I can't imagine not having a normal school building for so long.
