Nope.  The going in premise of the project is that the computers are
owned by the individual kids; this is for many reasons, including they
get taken care of much better if they are individual property rather
than communally shared property.  And the children are part of a family.
Learning does not stop at age 16, or 18, or 21 (with the exception of
certain individuals I've known ;-)).
