Live in the area, Bill .. they haven't been delivered yet, but if you
like, will get back to you about it when they are. And just by the way
it is nice to be able to report *every* clasroom in our P-10 College in
my small town has touch-screen whiteboards, with quite speedy net access.
And, this is without any Rudd money at all. It'll be tough to decide what
to spend that on, but i guess we'll cope :)

Cheers,
Stephen
