Interesting news item from CNET below:

The state of Michigan has awarded a $68 million contract to
Hewlett-Packard to supply laptop computers to sixth-graders in the
state's schools for the next four years. As many as 132,000 students could
receive computers under
the program, and HP will also provide training and support to teachers.


** Does anyone from Michigan know whether the state plans to add adaptive
computer software for students with disabilities?
