I don't know enough about how the grants are or have been administered, but the Gates Foundation has been giving lots of equiptment and possibly money away to rural libraries (part of the move toward global domination). It could be something only for public libraries but it might be worth checking out: http://www.gatesfoundation.org Check the section about libraries. It may be that the State Library in Vermont grabbed hold of the major grant of equipment and doled it out to libraries across the state themselves, so it might be over already. You could talk to the public library in town too. Good luck with your decision. NORA Hey Pam.

It is included with Mac OS X, and has the most of the features that a elementary student needs.
