I agree. Being a CEO of a high tech firm, I am interested from the sociological and business administration perspectives on this. I don't mean to bring kindling to an area ripe for a flame war. I'm partial to 1's and 0's myself. I just wish to compare notes. We were working on a project similar to OLPC last year. Sub $100 Linux PC's for nations developing their digital voice, video and data networks. Computex Taipei is supposedly focusing on that sector of the PC market this year. http://www.computextaipei.com.tw/overview/general_en.shtml -Bari -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
