Hi, I usually just lurk here,
Thanks for 'de-cloaking' :))
Basically, these things are a dead end. For educational purposes, they fail miserably mostly because they are extremely slow, clumsy to use and generally the only use these get are by naiive teachers and by lazy teachers who would rather have most of a class playing crappy Flash games on crappy laptops instead of teaching a class.
One of my concerns when my children reach your age.
PS I'm a complete noob to mailing lists so I'm probably sending this wrong, sorry.
Nope. Perfectly fine and thanks for giving us your first hand view. It's similar to that I've heard from friends who's own children have received these machines.
If you ever get the chance, you should see if one of your parents (or another relative/friend) can bring you along to a SLUG meeting.
