<<Would kids be able to use iMac at home, send their file to school via e-mail, and retrieve at school for the next day's work?>> Again, we are not thinking about efficient ways of using technology. Sure, you can e-mail the files to school. Why bother? How about uploading the files directly to the school's public server? Or to the teacher's server volume or even directly to the private web/file server directly on the student's PC running 24 hours a day at school? We recently migrated people to new computers here at work and one of the user's got whiff of the fact that her files had to be transferred. Rather than simply dragging and dropping them (over 3,000 files) to her folder on the server, she called the helpdesk complaining, "How do they expect me to e-mail 3,000+ files to myself before the deadline!? I've been working all morning and so far I've only been able to attach 75!" Why even bother with a telephone connection when the files can be beamed to the student's eMate via IR ports and carried in a knapsack? They can then be worked on in the schoolbus. Thereby, we assure a whole generation of productive workers who grow up getting premature ulcers and learning to take work home on weekends and holidays. :) -Bill_H
