This law passed by Congress essentially called for censorship of the internet with respect to minors and inappropriate material. The Supreme Court decided the CDA was unconstitutional on June 26, 1997. Congress then passed the Children's Online Protection Act (COPA), which was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2003. I expect this Utah law, if passed, will likewise be challenged and overturned by the Court.
TJ also runs a Sun Thin Client lab now. There are about 25 SunRay terminals running on an UltraEnterprise 450 with Solaris 9 and Sun Ray Server 2.0. We use it exclusively to teach AP Computer Science, although it also has multimedia capablities. I have become somewhat of a fan of Sun for education, even if it is somewhat difficult to learn to administer. We have upgraded from the 386s and now have two clusters, one composed of old Cobalt Raq2 systems (22 nodes), and the other currently being built is old Pentium IIs.
