Maine iBook program


Maine's laptop computer program this fall as Governor John Baldacci had hoped, according to the Associated Press: "But the administration apparently intends to spend $8 million to put the wireless infrastructure in place in hopes of winning approval in the next legislative session.

    $8 Million

    Why does it cost $8 Million to set up a bunch of Airports? Do they really need 7,700 of them (I'll allow for some labor costs).
