The computer brand that burgeoned on bargain retail is going after schools
and small business. Forbes, May 10, 2010 (cover date).

My comment:
(a) alacrity (n): "a promptness in responding: cheerful readiness"
(b) I am surprised that ACER is pursuing school sales, which traditionally
are the domain of Dell. But Acer seems to seek mobile computing business,
while Dell focused on desk tops.
