      <div>Could you send me a picture of one of your stations with the
        rigged up headphones?  We have 130 AWE stations which work
        great, except for the headphone jacks continually breaking.
         We've tried a number of solutions and never have come up with a
        way to prevent them from breaking it seems.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>I like the AWEs, but must say they are getting old in the
        tooth.  A lot of the content feels very 90ish.  So many of
        today's kids want a tablet with more "stuff."  I know AWE has
        been working on something with tablets, so maybe someday.</div>
      <div><br>
      </div>
      <div>However, I'm with Jim in that it is an easy solution to put
        in place and forget about.</div>

                      We have 2 AWE machines we got from a grant. They
                      came with usb injet printers which caused more
                      problems than they were worth. The models we have
                      can not use a network printer, but the new version
                      of AWE machines I think can. We didn't want to
                      spend money on the upgrade to get them to print to
                      a network printer. Chester Creek is the company
                      that made the mouse and keyboard that ours came
                      with.  AWE machines are good if you don't want to
                      mess with them other than rebooting them. If you
                      try to do anything else with them you will become
                      very frustrated (like get the ones we have to
                      connect to a network and  print to a network
                      printer)  Since ours did not come with any media
                      to reload the OS, AWE softare, and games back on
                      them, once the hard drives fail the AWE software
                      and games will go away.<br>
