I second the idea. No doubt that OLPC is a great effort but I wonder how such ideas will be useful in 3rd world countries where the IT infrastructures are so poor that even dial-up Internet is not available in some towns, let alone villages and rural regions. I try to be not cynic but there are so many problems in education system that learning how to use a computer has a low priority. Anyway, let's hope OLPC will do what it's supposed to do. -- Bahman Movaqar Whenever there are great virtues, it's a sure sign something's wrong. -Bertolt Brecht _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
