Guess What I Found on CRAIGSLIST? Wireless Gen. DATA COACH ad!

Hey DE:  Look for Dufour in the following ad from Craigslist.  Of course, an incompetent company with inside connections to DE ED would advertise in the very best of places for the employees that will guide the future of our children:  Craigslist.  Yup, that about sums it up.  http://delaware.craigslist.org/edu/2370933110.html
