also want to start with just a few laptops. Giving laptops to all the
children would impact the culture too much too quickly. Who knows what the

What you have described is what I have been saying. Perhaps not as directly

Someone wrote about innovation. And that set me thinking this afternoon.
Innovation -- big or small, any shapes and sizes, any flavours -- will only
