County Stuck In Information Superhighway Slow Lane

Trinity County is a strikingly beautiful part of Northern California — tall pine-covered mountains, clear lakes, and rivers filled with salmon and trout. But only around 14,000 people live there, and they don't have an easy time getting an Internet connection. Burnt Ranch Elementary School is right in the middle of the county. School Superintendent Sarah Supahan says the school paid almost $50,000 for a satellite link — and it doesn't work well. On top of that, the 95-student school can afford only 20 computers.
