" my only thought was "Sir, have you no mirror?" If Mr. Dvorak was half as smart as he wants us to think he is he would know that OLPC is designed for children in countries with functioning school systems, not starving children in war zones. I'm sure Johannes Gutenberg heard the same kinds of comments, luckily he didn't listen either.

Let me know when they work out that system, where a child having a laptop enables people living in poverty and starving with 13% literacy rates translates to food. OLPC is as useful as a fart in wind a storm, maybe when they can feed themselves and learn to read computer will useful. "Yeah, that’s compelling logic. Take a cheap shot at me with a politically correct barb. Oh! Ouch! No matter. I stand firm with my opinion."--Dvorak's response tho his Mr. Thompson's article. Bill Thompson is so full of it.
