[OPLINTECH] Reading Literacy System (software/OS ect)

[Adam Murphy]

We have 4 AWEs up and running. So far the only problem I've had was 
someone jammed the power button into the side of the case. AWE fixed 
that for us. They are all-in-ones with touchscreens. There is a good 
range of software. We do have to find better headphones because the kids 
keep destroying them.
