Sounds pretty interesting.I suppose the small keyboard probably suits the kids well.I'm surprised to see they go for about $300.If the kids are using Windows at school, it will be hard to convince them and teach them how to use a MAC (or vice versa).
I think you could look into a netbook. The Acer Aspire One is a really good laptop for the price. We have a whole cart-lab for our kids in the Elementary (grades K-5). They really seem to love them. It might be a bit more difficult for the adult, but I used one as my only computer for about 3 months before we bought the lab and it was fine after about a week of getting used to it. Plus, you might be able to squeeze out 2 and still be right around the budget.
Do you work with these kids? I'm interested to see if these netbooks have any shortcomings,and how do the kids treat these units,as far as not abusing or dropping them,etc.
