From the supplier: Contel of Texas Inc installed successful fiber-optic local area networks (LANs) in the Whitehouse Independent (Whitehouse, TX) and Glen Rose Independent (Glen Rose, TX) K-12 school districts. The company wanted to encourage its rural customers to use more of the company's high-technology communications services. The pilot Whitehouse system employs fiber-optic cable to link 92 IBM PC-compatibles, 20 Macintoshes, eight 3Com file servers, three IBM PS/2 Model 80 file servers and a IBM PS/2 Model 60 file server distributed among six schools via an 10M-bit/second Ethernet LAN through Contel's central office. The system handles all student records and scheduling, electronic mail, district financial applications and food services data. The Glen Rose system links about 250 microcomputers spread through 40 elementary, middle and high school classrooms, plus computer labs, libraries and administrative offices. What was learned in the Whitehouse trial and future plans for the Glen Rose network are discussed.

Texas One Nation
This very thin book is appropriate for elementary school students, no higher than the 4th grade.
The first chapter inexplicably starts with Texas music. I recommend chapters start with The Land, The People, Texas History and then cover culture, music and facts. A picture of the beautiful State Capitol
would be a nice addition also. The discussion of Texas History and the sights was good, including the pictures of the famous Alamo and the associated battle. A few more pictures of the various cities, oil
derricks,the Big Bend National Park and the San Jacinto Monument would add a lot of color and make the
book much more interesting to 3rd and fourth grade readers. ... Read more
