How crazy is this. I went to the NCTE conference in November - FOUR months ago - and Alphasmart had a booth surrounded by dozens of teachers ready to leverage their souls to get a classroom full of those little beauties.
@Duffy: nothing's perfect in this world. I suggest you console yourself with a new typewriter.
@Monda: RenLearn has pretty much hitched their wagon to the educational sales star. A good fit, but when the price of a full-featured Netbook drops below the price of a single-purpose AlphaSmart, then what? It's not like the schools are rolling in the cash these days anyway.
Me? I'm hoarding travel typewriters for the apocalypse.

First it takes my newspaper away, then my Alphasmart.
I hate you, interweb.
The Moon household has two Alphasmart Pros as well. Still clicking after all these years. The only complaint I have is that they're not typewriters.

So much for that.
