Kaustubhji, Have you used or seen kids tutorials or Fun and Learn games on computers ? Have you seen kids using Paintbrush etc to create drawings ? By your message it is not being seen. So a computer (low-end one) can be used for these purposes for ruler chieldren as well. The concept is not to give a device to have only fun with like Chatting, networking and other useless (sometime these are good to have but these are most misused) services. The idea is to make kids use devices for betterment of their learning so they don't stay behind the richer breed of children. Don't you see this as a boon to kids in far flung areas of this country ? Further, MIT is not a commercial organization promoting their products like Pepsi and McD. They can deliver better products than Windows, and better softwares. Overall it is not a commercial product, so don't compare it witha Dell Lappy having 160 GB HDD and 3 GB of RAM Ha...ha.... This is just for kids. Thanks, Alankar
