One thing from this link that was interesting is that they *are* using
"word processing appliances" called "AlphaSmart". Interesting, but it
seems like they are way overpriced given that these things seem very
little better than an old Tandy Model 100 (which should border on free
with modern integration).

They are *very* thin. Sadly, as is most education "research". Sigh.
Actually, I love the "Key Components of the Recommended Laptop Initiative"

Provide extra time, extra trainers, extra money, and an on-site computer

Um, duh.
Even Bill Gates admitted that almost *anything* will work if you dump a
whole bunch of new resource at the problem. It shakes up students,
engages parents and energizes teachers. It's *after* things become
normal again that you find out that it didn't stick.
