CNN has a follow-up on the State of Maine's plan to give new iBooks to every seventh- and eigth-grader in the state, noting that the contract with Apple has a clause that allows the sate to back out if funding falls short: "The contract is being called the largest single purchase of computers for public school classrooms. It includes wireless networks, technical support and maintenance...[However,] Not all lawmakers are thrilled with spending so much money while the state faces a potential $250 million shortfall, and some are suggesting scaling back or eliminating the laptop plan."

Wow! iBook for all
Just for that, after I'm done with my tour of duty in the Army, I will have to move to Maine so my kids can enjoy their Macs
