From your experience please suggest a top quality (modestly priced) computer
whose sole purpose would be to "play" Encarta, World Book, etc. and print
sections of text from reference CD's. . . . also, Gatewat has been mentioned--
does anyone have experience with them in a school setting (tech service,
trouble shooting, etc.  TIA (i.e. Gateway)  Kay
