[OLPC India] India Digest, Vol 23, Issue 12

[Ananya Guha]

Dear All,

The discussion as far as I am concerned is getting a wee bit technical. What
hyperbole! As an academic what I am really interested is seeing OLPC through
the length and breadth of India.Of course I appreciate this cerebral
discussion.

Regds,

Ananya S Guha.
