Hi

So much has been said about OLPC (one laptop per child) for poor children in
the third world. It's wonderful and I'm sure it will help to reduce poverty
and enhance children's minds. Now Third world only got to get 200 millions
of children out of their jobs and guarantee for many of them at least one
bread and one glass of milk per day. Oops!, " ¿Bread and milk for free?,
¿What kind of dirty populist and criminal communist proposal is that? ".

Regards


Alfredo
