When Mark Finstrom took over as Director of
Technology Services for Highline Public Schools
in Washington state, he quickly developed three
priorities: simplify, standardize and save. The district
had been using a plethora of individually configured
white-box computers that were expensive to buy,

a robust, cost-effective computing infrastructure of
HP desktop and notebook PCs, including as its
classroom workhorse the HP Compaq dc5750
Small Form Factor PC.
