Pennsylvania Gov. Rendell launches program to put 35,000 laptops in classrooms

During a visit to Wilkinsburg High School yesterday, Gov. Ed Rendell officially announced the start of a three-year, $200 million program to furnish high school classrooms with laptop computers and wireless Internet access.
