RE: gates buying palms??
Hey, the purpose is to improve or enhance the educational system, not promote products.

I have nothing but complete and utmost respect for the efforts of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It is NOT Microsoft and is independantly administered (by Bill's Dad's Law Firm I think).
And besides - we all know that PalmOS apps render Microsoft documents far better than a PPC anyway ;)

Very nice of Bill
There are a lot people who have just as much money as Bill. Yet Bill is one of the few who are willing to give back some for the good of all.

Many of us are much nicer and more thoughtful because of our spouses. I certainly am.

Also, on the hardware purchase, the foundation can't really tie the purchase of Micrsoft products and OS to a grant for VERY arcane reasons of tax and 501c3 rules and law since the grantor (Bill) has a vested interest. Anyway, if the group had purchased PPC, people would slam Gates for putting strings on the gift. Its a Catch-22.
Life is a great adventure or nothing.
