Re: Seems to be huge computer opportunity

I am thrilled you took the time to think about and answer this appeal. 
Like everybody else here, you are smarter than me so I think about your 
comments a while.

But I will say, I spoke with several representative of relevant big 
shots and made a few points. First, none ever heard of linux and its 
free open source sophisticated status. Also, none ever heard of 
Raspberry Pi, mostly made in England, costing about $50.

So the political talk of online education is dead at conception unless 
somebody rakes out at least $billions for whatever the Chinese cartel 
cooks up. Or the big shots could learn a very small fraction of what 
this group knows.

Sadly, as you imply, big shots are a dangerous breed. No school is just 
beyond my thinking.
