I also understand it is not expensive. If this is correct, does this mean that the 286's and 386's sitting on the curbs waiting for trash pickup are now useful for teachers and students to use at home? And, while we are talking about this, what other strategies do you know of to get good, inexpensive, computers for students and teachers to use at home? Anybody actively working on this in the adult literacy world? David J. Rosen <DJRosen@world.std.com>
