--part1_d0.2eeadcc0.2aed2cab_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Thanks Fred. I respect that. Its quite possible technology came in the way. Its never perfect anyway. I appreciate it. I felt strongly about the way "Hole in the wall" is projected primarily on two counts: (1) It presumes that 15 year children in Indian slums may not be able to navigate a computer without training when 3 year old in the US can navigate a Nintendo or Playstation and (2) The cost of delivering such an experiment is way out of line. Outside of that I believe that these experiments may get the governments some publicity but do not add much value. A PC in a school that works goes a long way if managed as well as a kiosk like Hole in the wall. Thanks so much ___________________________________________ satish jha cmd, james martin & co pvt ltd; president, digital parters institute; n-103, panchsheel park, new delhi - 110 017 v: 649 4384/ 9384; f: 649 4380 v: 98111 97979 --part1_d0.2eeadcc0.2aed2cab_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">Thanks Fred.
