Computers Quotes
Recently this headline caught my attention:
“A LOW-COST LAPTOP FOR EVERY CHILD -
Effort to link world’s rural poor to Internet with $100 computers gets boost from U.N.” Shivers went through me.

Amazingly, these children were happy with the little they had. Certainly they needed help-but not low-cost laptops, as trumpeted by the headline I referred to above. That would be like giving stones to someone asking for bread.
