Perhaps I should have sent it to the Marketing list instead.  I was
hoping that people would comment at Parade.com on the article,
suggesting that there are others in the tech business doing a lot
for education -- one Mr. Shuttleworth, I believe, ;-) and one Dr.
Nicholas Negroponte (OLPC).  I rarely see their names in the newspaper
although this morning's Washington Post Express did finally mention
the OLPC somewhere other than their technology pages.
