Never under estimate the ability of a bright, inquisitive teenager to 
learn new things!

I would not overlook Linux in general either. If your organization 
does not absolutely require a product that runs on a Microsoft or Mac 
platform a Linux distribution that puts Open Office, Firefox (Web), 
and Thunderbird (Email) on the desktop of a modest machine could save 
you substantial money even if you opt for a distribution of Linux that 
lets you purchase some outside support if required.
