I also then blogged it at the AZ Discovery Education Network site as well. Thanks for giving this some blog attention earlier this fall so that I had time to investigate and plan for the spending. The Get One part of the laptop purchase will be going to my parent's house for use by ny 5 nieces and nephews when they visit (which is often). Thanks again for highlighting this on your blog!
