I am sure that I am not steeped enough in the initiative to answer this 
question, but he seemed to say that they are making the computer so simple to 
fix 
that the children can take care of the problems. which will be simple based on 
the design of the tool. We did not talk about content, I did with a young lady 
from MIT but we only were talking about specialized software or initiatives 
that meet the millenium 

I was only sitting in the audience reporting what I heard.      It is good to 
think about the content. So often we only talk about the hardware.
