Re: Anyone with experience with Mimio Interactive System (Smart Board alternative)?

I would be interested in people's thoughts as well. We had a few Mimios =
and then our school was hit by a tornado that decimated my tech =
department ...including the mimios which were never installed (they were =
here before I came on board and I was only here for 8 months prior to =
the tornado).

Instead of replacing the mimios, I opted to purchase an Airliner from =
SMART technologies. I've seen SMART boards in action and the Airliner =
seems like a good blend. But now that we're looking at purchasing for =
next year, I need to evaluate whether to purchase additional Airliners =
or re-look at Mimio. Smartboards are simply out of our budget.

Any opinions/experiences with Mimio would be greatly appreciated.

Correction:
I looked on the price on CDWG. It's price for around $600.
