ROTFLMAO!Kids, of course, are especially excited about the news that the new school will shut down unexpectedly at least once a day.

I'm waiting for Asher to start claiming how it's better that all places have exactly the same buggy school.

1) Are you aware of wonderful devices called batteries that the virtual textbooks use?Originally posted by Harry Seldon
Even beyond the Microsoft angle, imagine if the power goes out. All your text books are gone, communicatoin crumbles, no library.
2) Are you aware of wonderful devices called UPS' that are used for communication backups?
3) If the power goes out in any library, it's really useles,s unless it has a glass roof. At a public highschool, that seems somewhat unlikely.
Splendid, once again you show that you've not a clue what you're talking about, even when trying to take a simple poke at me.[Glonkie mode]

Tinfoil hat people are ones that are chanting "Microsoft is going to use all of the information they collect to go tell kids' parents that they viewed porn! Repent, repent...".
Tinfoil Hat people have nothing to do with this thread.

Virtually all schools have backup generators. I'd assume that this would DEFINATELY have one.Originally posted by Harry Seldon

And, admission will not be based on academic ability.
That's stupid.Comment

2. Have you ever seen a UPS that lasted longer than sixty minutes with more than a monitor and a decent server plugged in?
3. My high school library had windows. Hopefully their school does too.Comment

Most high tech devices use recharable li-ion batteries which can lost quite a long time. My portable MP3 player lasts 11-12 hours (20GB HD-based), my laptop (1.5GHz Pentium M, 768MB RAM) lasts around 7 hours.Originally posted by Harry Seldon

All of the "virtual" textbooks I've seen proposed are variations of tablet PCs, with li-ion batteries...
If the power is out for 60 minutes or longer, you're not doing much in school, period. Technology or not.2. Have you ever seen a UPS that lasted longer than sixty minutes with more than a monitor and a decent server plugged in?
My high school libraries have never had Windows, and I doubt most have sufficient lighting anyway. Not to mention most libraries are computerized, anyway.3. My high school library had windows.

Anyone taking bets on how long the school will go before it gets robbed?

How about we take all this money that is about to be wasted on "virtual" textbooks and use it to by all the students in Philly real textbooks? Wouldn't that make more sense?KH FOR OWNER!

Bad idea. If your plan was followed, Microsoft wouldn't get a PR boost. Also, the more people use MSW at school, the less they will be able to adapt to something else. Inability to adapt will make a large portion of the economy dependent on MS. We'll be back in the middle ages again, except higher tech(which does not neccessarily mean higher education).American by birth, smarter than the average tropical fruit by the grace of Me. -me
