there’s a decent article in the Christian Science Monitor or all places about the center where i work and even talks about the Lear project i did. it also mentions the project that we did this summer that involved handing out iBooks to 15 or so grad students and trying to teach them the technology. however, it doesn’t mention that of the 15 laptops we handed out, 4 were damaged within the month and a half program. the best was that on the very first night out, one of the students spilled beer in theirs. i think that waterproof indestructable laptops would really be a good business to get into.
