Wow, Chris, was this really about netbooks in the classroom, or were you just looking for a way to brag about your new Mac?
All this talk about 1:1 computers of ANY kind right now is just BS. We have school systems everywhere laying off teachers to the bare minimum and modifying or cutting bus routes because they don't have the money to sustain them. How about we wait a year or two and let the economy improve before we start trying to push this 'one laptop per child' crap again.
Some of us learned things quite well at school with just textbooks and a chalk board. Sure the kids need to learn computers, but most of the kids I know either have their own at home, or use the family computer, and can run circles around most of the adults with them.
High school and college kids, yes, elementary and middle school, not so much. I think you are living in a fantasy world.
