Indeed, the profile on Apple only says: "FÃ?S plans to support the use of film in all of Ireland’s 3,500 primary schools by the end of 2006." When I spoke to the National Centre for Technology in Education, they said that this means FIS will provide support to any schools that may already have video equipment available to them, not that FIS will necessarily provide new equipement.
