Are you advocating spending tax money to put all those people online at meetings?
Would the staff just maintain a few and put them on the desk for meetings or would they get to take them home and surf the net?
It is a good idea but even the cheapest useful laptops cost several hundred bucks. One of my friends just spent nearly $3,000 for a loaded MacIntosh state-of-the-art model.
