I was very interested in the commentary on the use/non-use of computers in education. The Maine project is an excellent example of what can be done when the public sector supports kids. Hope that part of the discussion encourages some conversations. I haven't been following the development of the US national technology plan. Anything interesting happening there? Cheers. Sheine

I just was able to listen to it.

My favorite quote from that (I'm not quoting it exactly, it's as close as I remember though):

"The managers at Xerox would say 'if this is so great,' why isn't IBM working on it?"

(not sure who said that - it wasn't Alan, but one of the other interviewees)
