Laptop Computer Program

In 1995, Ballarat Clarendon College started a laptop computer program.

Students starting Year 7 in 1995 were required to lease or buy a laptop from the school's provider, Computelec; the school later expanded this program to include students from Year 5.

Students are required to have a supplied laptop computer until Year 9, after which they are permitted to bring any laptop of their choice.

Famous quotes containing the words computer and/or program:

    The Buddha, the Godhead, resides quite as comfortably in the circuits of a digital computer or the gears of a cycle transmission as he does at the top of a mountain or in the petals of a flower.
    Robert M. Pirsig (b. 1928)

    Along the highway, all but lost among blatant neon lights flashing ‘Whiskey’ and ‘Dance and Dine,’ are crudely daubed warnings erected by itinerant evangelists, announcing that ‘Jesus is soon coming,’ or exhorting the traveler to ‘prepare to meet thy God.’
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
