[OPLINTECH] Possible computer for kids

Fri Jun 6 11:45:52 EDT 2014

In the interest of full disclosure, GCPL has had some 20 AWE computers for several years.
If money was no object, I won't consider any other solution.
My grandkids love "abbey mouse" and I've distributed about a thousand computers with the Zac browser to schools or disabled kids.
But the beauty of this discussion is that there are now:
1. The spend money turn-key option aka AWE
2. The slight learning curve options aka ABC Mouse or Linux
3. The familiar solution aka Win 7, Deep Freeze and a kid's browser

How cool is that?

We use the AWE's here as well. Ours have touch screens which is a nice feature. Also no internet access. It doesn't take a lot of time to get them up and running.
