This is certainly encouraging news, but we will have to see what the long-term effects are. It may be years before Apple gets another contract like Maine's.

I had always wished my high school would have done something like that, but as I see now, the technology and the pricing just was not there.

Today, with airport and cheaper/more durable/education-oriented configs, kinda makes me want to be an 8th grader in Maine, lucky kids.. hope they don't abuse them.
