RM> I suspect that there are two camps that are pushing for
RM> computers: The first are those who see computers as an
RM> essential part of our future lives, and who feel that
RM> children MUST be comfortable and knowledgeable about them.
RM> The second are those who see computers as a way of adding
RM> "interest" to classrooms.
DJ>In my more cynical moments I glimpse a third camp who speak of 
DJ>computers and internet access as a way of sounding knowledgeable 
DJ>and important. They justify their jobs while spinning tales of 
DJ>the web. Their are usually not very computer literate. They 
DJ>oversee expenditures of large amounts of money on tech dog and 
DJ>pony shows.
I know the type whereof you speak... Flash being more
important than substance.
DJ>Ah, enough....  Glad summer vacation is finally here.
You said it brother!     ;-)
