From the supplier: John J. Pershing Intermediate School is one of the pioneer US elementary schools to use network computers (NCs) to connect to the Internet. New York's Board of Education is piloting its Project Smart Schools in Pershing and plans to include computers and Internet access in all public schools by the year 2000. Administrators are planning to use Sun Microsystems' JavaStations to develop their network. These JavaStations feature microSPARCII processors, between 8MB and 64MB of memory, up to 8MB of RAM and either 10BaseT or 100BaseT networking interfaces. The NCs use Sun's JavaOS operating system to run applications and they support several off-the-shelf programs. Pershing has installed 30 Internet-connected JavaStations that both teachers and students use for e-mail, science experiments and various learning activities. Sun's VP of academic and research computing, Barbara Gordon, claims that Java Computing can save schools between 50% and 80% on PC and server total cost of ownership expenses.
