Hi,<br>Mel brought some fairly recent Illinois legislation to my attention. The legislation creates, "<span class="content">A low-cost laptop pilot
project whereby low-cost laptop computers are provided to each student,
teacher, and relevant administrator in a participating elementary
school and the use of open-source educational software and computer
skills training is implemented." If anyone wants to they can read more at <a href="http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=5000&GAID=9&DocTypeID=HB&LegID=35963&SessionID=51&GA=95&SpecSess=0">http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/BillStatus.asp?DocNum=5000&GAID=9&DocTypeID=HB&LegID=35963&SessionID=51&GA=95&SpecSess=0</a>. Personally I will be writing a letter to congressmen and women asking for their support of this bill. It would be great if you would join me, as the passing of this bill would obviously help advance the OLPC project.<br>
<br>Thanks,<br>Jason Rock<br></span>
