    Right, it didn't happen. And if it had it would have been: 1. Totally different, as bitcoins are not portable general purpose computers. 2. Two orders of magnitude more expensive than $100 per student. So I'm wondering why on earth this person would draw such a comparison?

      I'm guessing that he's probably referring to the concept of giving them access to a very new technology at a very early stage.
