I think we have suggested some things along those lines to Schol Board 13 in Brooklyn and they are quite intewrested! ____________________ Richard Mandelbaum says: > those who comment on computers etc being pie-in the sky for the urba n > community in the inner city should actually go out and speak to thos e > inner city kids and parents whom they are defending from the danger of > being exposed to such things as LANS and routers. Richard, I respectfully submit that you have missed the point entirely. It's not that I'm trying to "defend" the K-12 crowd from the dangers of net works, it simply that I think it's a case of mis-placed priorities. Remember that corny episode from M*A*S*H where Major Winchester gives the orphans some fancy candy for Christmas and the old man runni ng the orphanage sells it on the black market to buy rice and cabbage? It's sort of the same story here. Come to a meeting of Community Board 8 in Bro oklyn some Thursday night and see what kind of problems get discussed by the education committee. Who's going to keep those LANs and routers runni ng? If they don't have the money to keep the after-school basketball progr am going, where do you think they will find money to hire a network manag er?
