Worth anything?
Where the eMate really excels is the ability to be used as a long battery life word processor. It has a minimum of distractions and you can also quickly add sketches into your text docs.
Since you are going into teaching and you don't mind using vintage computers, think of it this way - there will always be students who need to complete a writing assignment in a given subject area. They don't need the distraction of the Internet and you don't want the students to use your personal laptop computer. Or, you are on a fieldtrip (or just outside the school building) and you want students to have a written record of what they observed.
