Setting up 3000 iBooks in 3 days

Ever wonder what 3000 iBooks looks like? Or how you might go about configuring them? What if you only had three days to do it? Apple consultant Jaron Brass has an amazing gallery of photos. [via Digg.com]

MICROSFT VS APPLE
------------------------------
My faith in apple has disappeared!!
FORGET APPLE AND GET A PC WITH WINDOWS, JUST BUY MORE MEMORY AND MAKE SURE U HAVE A DECENT GRAPHICS CARD, (will still cost less than a mac!!and for the same price as a mac will run better, even for graphics and videos.)
all we pay for is the design!!!
apple have a history of cover up problems with their machines, just look at all the people with problems with the powerbook, macbooks, and ibooks!!!
** GOOGLE Search "logic board" with "G3", "G4" and see all these people with mac problems.**
If this was a car, u would get a letter in the post calling a recall, if it was windows they fix it with an update...apple, well leave it to us to figure it out and if u get the problem sooner than any 3yr extension replacement program, then great, but any time after that....GOOD LUCK
TO END
if u get an apple machine expect only about only 3yrs of bliss at most if you lucky, just look look at all the people with ibooks G3, which have missed and boat and stuck with a null computer that looks pretty and nothing else
Yea, they use NetBoot. I am friends with the tech that manages the same program at one of the middle schools and he has a netboot image setup.

They likely built a custom disk image to dump onto the machines (a few photos show some G5's set up to NetBoot the iBooks so they could be imaged), but if they ordered 3,000 they should have been able to give the image to Apple to have loaded on the iBooks at the factory (wouldn't have cost Apple any more money to do that, they already have to dump their standard disk image on every machine they build anyway).

iBooks: "We are!!! ATTACK!!!"
There are secret agent ninjas in the Dell box waiting for the moment to steal some of the iBooks and figure out what makes them so damn sexy.
