"A new, more current system would cost between $1.5 and 2 million. "
Something tells me there's more than a Commodore Amiga involved, here. This figure must include the radio hardware and controllers at each of the schools. The article goes on to say that a student at one of the high schools wrote the software that runs it all.. but it must also require some sort of controller / interface, so who supplied that (sans software)? Doesn't really make much sense, but then again, not a lot of reporting does.
