I am beginning the ICT online journey with my students not through a wiki or class blog (though I hope come) but through delicious.

My thinking is that 30 of these machines is better value than 15 Dells or regular Acer notebooks. Maybe I'll blog my impressions. I have to admit I do not know enough about Linux and my technician wouldn't be keen to cross-platform when he has so much already on his plate.

I preferred the clever del.icio.us domain to the ordinary delicious.com, but I'm just a geeky network technology teacher. The Acer notebook looks very interesting. I see they offer a Linux version as well as MS windows. I'm hoping to do more with Linux with my students this year. I've had a fascination with that OS for some time, but haven't ever done anything about it in the classroom or lab. Maybe the Acer is something to consider. Dear Graham,
