But they could be a completely different version than you all had in HS because there are multiple models available.
Possibly, those might be different ones, I'm sure they are actually. The overhead projectors and just an remote controlled screen are really great, but as for those others I've seen they weren't really needed or of much use. But if they're the ones at NES, then go for it, no reason they shouldn't have them in the new schools.
