I agree with u on this 1 Dear Ashok. But among this
Beaucratic mess......is there ny1 who can stand out
and make a difference.....???
Never the less....letz not get disheartened in this
country where most pple takes thingz for granted. Lets
do our best in our own spheres to make sure that
Freedom of Thought/Speech/Access to information
prevail.....in our own small wayz.
GNU has taught us a lot....now lets do our bit to
educate the rest.
What about the Simputer project's request of
waiving
taxes, excise duty etc. on the Simputer so that >the
overall cost to the end user can be below $200?

Dear Ashok...;)
I aint a spin doctor...but lemme assure u, there r
pple workin behind the scenes to get the show on the
road.
Lets keep our fingers crossed and do our own small
bit. thingz hav a way of workin their way out.

This award, at best, seems to be a big eye wash,
