It's strange. After so many years of hearing pundit after pundit describe Apple as if it were suffering from stage four cancer, about the only people forecasting Apple's demise nowadays are its competitors, some timid analysts, and a smattering of journalists who didn't receive a reviewer's copy of the new iPod Mini . . .

Apple's New Chapter In The Classroom
Has Apple (AAPL) fallen back into a school daze? It sure seems that way from a recent series of bad tidings. The Mac folks just lost a massive one-to-one computing deal for the state of Michigan to tech giant Hewlett-Packard (HPQ). These state programs, which seek to give every student a laptop and tightly integrate the machines' use into the curriculum, are seen as the holy grail of the now stumbling K-12 education business. And the Michigan contract was the proverbial mother lode. Worth $68 million over four years, it calls for HP to provide laptops to as many as 132,000 middle-school students in the Wolverine State.

Apple desperately wanted to win this contact, as did Dell (DELL), Apple's archrival in the education market. Worse, the Mac folks have aggressively courted exactly these types of deals -- execs go out of their way to mention one-to-one computing as a key driver for education sales, which make up 25% of Apple's total revenues. Its school sales are expected to hit nearly $1.75 billion in 2004.
