Hi Mark Do you have any references to publications I (and other AoIR'ers) could download / otherwise access on the Maine "one laptop per child" project? It would be interesting to read the Maine project expectations and subsequent experiences as a comparison to the MIT project.

[snip] ... Finally, in answer to Jeremy's question about what happened to the laptop project in Maine, the answer is it's still going strong. The program was renewed after the first four-year contract (2002-2006) for a second four-year contract (2006-2010) for all 7th and 8th grade students in the state. There is also a laptop program in Maine at the high school level, but it is adopted (and funded) district by district and is thus not universal.
