Free computers

Originally I was in favour of the news that Brown was to give kids access to computers at home [not at £700, but that's another blog]. While the Daily Mail readers can rant that the wee chavs should be in the library, what is bypassing the commentators that when these wee chavs grow up, they'll more than likely to be working in a company where they will not only be expected to know about computers, they'll be expected to be competent in their use. That's not fantasy, it's fact.
But I'm particularly annoyed that the deal doesn't extend to Scotland. Yet again, this Government has shafted Scotland. There are children in Scotland who will work in computing [BigMouthMedia, one of the most respected SEO companies is based in Edinburgh and run by Scots!] so have they to buy their own? I hope to God that the lunatic will be let off the top chair soon.

Wouldn't it be more useful to get the wee chavs to pluck fruit from trees?
