Hi,<br>Thanks for the detailed comment on my views which helped me to learn your views. AS far as opinions are concerned there is no right and wrong opinions. Thanks for making me to understand that OLPC is wedded to 100% free software and the space is not opened to business. A small group at OLPC and the students of the world will train the world. There will be no teacher training and there will be no hardware support maintenance. There will be no place for powerful hard drives and servers.<br>
The dream of reaching the world's poorer children will be realized and materialised by open source free software.<br>If this is the view about OLPC then I understood the point.<br>When I was a research student in 1970s and after I became a professor I learnt and taught my students Marshall McLuhans medium is the message.<br>
When I saw the bottom line of your mail you said<br>End Poverty at a Profit by teaching children business<br>I worked in educational technology for 30 years both in open source and commercial software. Based on my experience I believed that the need of the hour for OLPC is to adopt the best from business.<br>
