Ok Dave I'm just as rookie as you. We just purchased the basic dacta kit
and the rover kit. The rover WILL NOT run on a mac so you need an IBM and
assorted cables etc. Here's the request form I sent to my tech person. By
the way all of it was purchased using Eisenhower money. I haven't a clue as
to how much you would need for 5 classes. I believe it would equal the
national debt to pay for it. This is what we bought so far:

Materials from Lego Industries,  555 Taylor Rd.,  Enfield, CT  06083-1600

Item # 942  Starter Pack for the Macintosh $625.00
Item # 0067 DOS Software  $82.50
Item # 9768 IBM Cable $26.00
(2) Item #9852 Chain Links $18.75 each
Item # 9609 Resource Kit $200.00

The Planetary Society
65 North Catalina Ave.
Pasadena, CA 91106-2301

Mars Site Kit $499.00 plus $12.00 shipping

Now we must talk strategies here. There is no way that this is going to
work with 5 classes.
