In an office environment, *you* may not see the Simputer's features as useful. With a desktop sitting at your desk every day that *you* can use everyday, it's probably really hard for *you* to see the Simputer as useful. But that's the point, Steve. It's not for *you*. If you've ever had to share one computer with 20 people, and it was your only access point, I doubt you would be able to email as often. You wouldn't have leisure time to read articles that *you* might find interesting. In the focus on the reduction of cost, I sincerely believe by these communications that the increase in quality of life as the *value* has been lost. -- Taran Rampersad Presently in: San Jose, Costa Rica [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.knowprose.com http://www.easylum.net http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/Taran "Criticize by creating." — Michelangelo _______________________________________________ DIGITALDIVIDE mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.edc.org/mailman/listinfo/digitaldivide To unsubscribe, send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message.
