Taran Rampersad, It sounds every time you discourage the $100 laptop. whats wrong with this? There are some social thinkers and community welfare minded people in our group. And they have something especial to contribute into particular community and I dont think this is a bad idead. How you can understand of a poor persons need, need of NGOs unless you are interested in! We know, every single dollar is worthy and hard to earn and at the same time, there is a social and morale responsibility too. Sadeque, Taran Rampersad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Amy Kenyon wrote:

Personally, I think I look funny in a skirt and pom-poms, and I worry that someone might disagree. Giving every kid on the planet a laptop is a wonderful idea, just like feeding them might be a grand idea. Clothing and shoes might be useful as well. The inherent problems with these laptops have not been addressed by any of the cheerleaders - or Negroponte for that matter. Sure, the song has a nice beat but the lyrics are really lacking. -- Taran Rampersad Presently in: San Fernando, Trinidad [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.knowprose.com http://www.easylum.net http://www.digitaldivide.net/profile/Taran Coming on January 1st, 2006: http://www.OpenDepth.com "Criticize by creating."
