Let the assimilation begin!

No business case? I'm just staring to read deep into IP6 I don't see much negative in there. And correct me if I'm wrong here but with an address space that big every damn thing on this planet many times over can have a global IP address. Google would have a field day with that type of stuff. There is like a billion addresses available for each person on planet earth and if they wanted to my jeans could have an IP address assigned to me. Basically it comes down to don't fix it till it's broken. I expect sheer panic in all news media in about two years or so.

that there are web restrictions while the laptops are in the building. This includes web sites like Facebook or MySpace. You can do this centrally with WebSense or some other proxy/web content filtering software. It's not a waste of time thing its more of a liability issue with the school. Teachers must have time for instruction and if Johnny is in class checking out porn and cyber bullying some kid, education is not happening and someone might get hurt. Take a look at NJ education law. A student sued that they had graduated and could not read. They won and it changed the entire state of education for 20 years plus. Personally I would not have a purchase program. Its cost way too much in the long end. Take a look at this http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/04/education/04laptop.html?_r=3&pagewanted=all&oref=slogin/ NY Times article from a year ago. Most schools are dropping it because of cost and the fact that standardized test grades have not improved. Place laptops in kid's hands that will use it for class such as a computer science class. Also, get it into the hands of kids with learning disabilities. I have seen it do wonders there. Instead of letting them purchase these machines in four years (obsolete by then) have it leased out for a year. You will have much more control in case something needs to be changed.
