the tablet feature. I obviously can't speak for all independent schools,
but unless your kids are really different for some reason, using the
touchpad with Sketchpad will be duck soup for them. And resist the
temptation to attach a regular mouse--it is not necessary. Sometimes you
just have to sigh and get on with life.
