BTW +- 700 ipads don't cost 4 million pounds. Which tells me that this vague article is at the very least misleading and out of context if not outright false. Altough ofcourse i could be wrong, perish the thought.

Would I be being frightfully rude if I suggested you might work for the EU? o:)

 

5 thousand apiece sounds like a lot, except all government contracts are overblown. If it were 2 grand I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Throw in through life cost of support, disposal, peripherals, apps... I reckon we could finagle it upwards.

I think Pid should refer to his mammoth lovemaking as a 'bureau initiative'.

This info i got from my newspaper, apparently this is a proposition to spend part of the budget on a ipad or a similar product(they mention a cost of about 350000
