Hi Dave

I thought folks on IP would find of interest some observations about  
the one laptop per child program that Nicholas Negroponte is involved  
with. He recently had a demonstration at the UN of the program.

One Laptop Per Child - Can It Become a Reality?

BTW I have just begun a blog "Netizen Journalism and the New News"
"Exploring the impact of the net and the netizen on journalism and  
toward a more participatory form of citizenship." http://taz.de/blogs/

I welcome comments, discussion, posts on related issues etc.
