2:31 PM EDT 		From the article: "So the TCO per student under this model for 6 years is $490 or $81.67 per year and $0.0817 per hour."

Except for the entrenched base of msce admins and a few over the hill teachers who had so much trouble with LookOut Express that they DO NOT ever want to see anything new, this could be the future. Oh yeah, and the kick-backs from non-free software manufacturers.

I live in a small, very small, town in New Mexico. High level of poverty. The students starting in grade 7 receive a lappy. Turn it in for summer vacation and get the same one back next fall. When these kids hit 12th grade they will ask, "What is a computer lab?"
