>Finally, in answer to Jeremy's question about what happened to the
>laptop project in Maine, the answer is it's still going strong.  The
>program was renewed after the first four-year contract (2002-2006)
>for a second four-year contract (2006-2010) for all 7th and 8th grade
>students in the state. There is also a laptop program in Maine at the
>high school level, but it is adopted (and funded) district by
>district and is thus not universal.
