america you didn't have an America with television, you had a new america. when laptops come into the class room you don't have a classroom with computers, you have a new classroom. Therefore, would you not have a new teacher as well? Just asking. In my experience, the things you really need to know in life aren't found on the internet. As a word processor and neatening-up device, I'm all for it. And you'll hear many parents exclaim how their child's work has improved, i.e, looks great! Graham
