Ajit:
I did hear some of the broadcast. If folks hadn't raised the Divide as
a real issue, and stimulate discussion and reaction from technology
providers and corporate sponsors, it would've gone unaddressed and
worsened. So, let's not ever  be discouraged from bringing societal
needs to the front because of possible conservative let-em-eat-cake 
reactions. We will provide both technical and literacy skills training to
adults and promote self sufficiency, despite
a commentator's exclusion of the population we serve.
