local languages for which good free electronic dictionaries very much do

It is my understanding that deployments with larger schools will be
using WAPs and possibly some active antennas (currently a shortage
of these). These large schools are more like the G1G1 situation as
the pupil moves from one area of the school to another they may
connect to another AP.
Colors! is far superior to Paint. Colors! is a wonderful activity.
A lot of fun and can be used for learning how to paint.
The replay mechanism is a great learning tool. Using Colors! in
shared mode is a great example of the potential of collaboration for
aiding creativity.
