hi would ASUS Eee PC be useful in a special school

David,

This PC is being bruited as gret for education - RM are selling a 
version. Could be useful as the Linux front end is easy to use, BUT the 
screen is quite small and anyone with vision problems could struggle. No 
software necessary, as it comes with open Office, which is capable of 
editing Word, Excel and Powerpoint, up to a point, there are 
differences. It is not easy to add software. It is possible to change to 
Windows XP, software comes with the machine, and there will be native 
Windows versions available soon. You have to bear in mind the limited 
storage, which Windows will fill very quickly. You then have the need to 
add SD HC cards, with possible problems of loss of them. There is also 
the question of limited battery life, I get about 3 hours max from mine.
