This tool is going the way of the buffalo. It's based on the ages-old point and click paradigm which will be eclipsed by the new multi-touch interface popularized by Jeff Hann (http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/65) and Apple (http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/).

Nineteen Ninety One. Educators are enamored with a tool that is at least 15 years old. Granted we still use pencil and paper, but those don't cost us thousands of dollars to install and maintain.
