PCs for the Filipinos? It's funny the last paragraph of the story concerns the government employees. No other statements were made regarding other sectors, particularly poor workers and farmers whose children must have access to computers to meet the requirements of their classes.
PCs costing 16 to 70t? My organization has already bought (individually) 10 computers at Gilmore, Aurora Ave at P13,000 each. They're all still working at this point. Yes, ASTI (sounds like astig) must take the cudgels in pushing open-source policy in this government's People's PC program. Of course, civil society groups in the embrace of open-source/free software must do their share in the advocacy, too. -- Dong B.
