- Yes, charity starts at home.
How about all the Native American children who have been moved to the most desolate, undesirable and remote parts of this country of USA? And all the other children in poor rural America?
But didn''t Nicolas say: All children in the World? - Reply to this comment

- I have to agree with the people who say that we need to help our children in the U.S. As for the person who said to stop whinning I have to guess her child has a computer. Because my child goes to a school of about 1700 and the teachers require that their homework is done on a computer. Yes, they have access to computers at the school, but there are only so many.

I noticed you repeated your post numerous times.... you obviously have access to a computer. Why can''t your child use the comp you are now using for his/her homework? All of you posters who want to buy this computer for your kids...if there already is a computer in the home...do your kids really need their very own computer? What happened to sharing? - Reply to this comment
- Charity begins here in America before it is given over seas. I am not selfish far from it. There are people in this nation that need them. Seniors,handicapped,the poor. Right here. Yet yer rather give over seas. They will take any thing America graciously holds her paw out to them if they can use the aid or not. They will take it. I think teaching them skills they can use in their nation IS more inportant.

- Dear 60 minuties,
after watching rebroardcast of one lap top per child, I was disturb that as our corp world is willing to sell this high tech computer knowledge to thrid world country''s in the name of children!!! Why not our milltary, soldier''s could use this type of technology in the field, or at home on a limited income, to communication with there love one''s, because if stolen it could deactivated. In a country that there is more TV''S in homes than there is computers is a shame we look to futher education throughout our world than at home, and most 3rd world country''s take what given to them and take all thats good and fine a way to use it against us (USA), exsample would be a country like Nigeria and all it''s fraud!!!! Not that I''m against the world people, but let us think of home first.aljan2 - Reply to this comment

- I''m going to purchase a laptop for my handicapped daughter who is twenty. I''m very excited to be part of this donation during the holidays, I just wish that I could request that the computer be donated to a school in Africa that our church helped start. I read a lot of the other e-mails and I understand that people would prefer to "start at home" with donations, but groups and organizations CAN raise the two hundred dollars to help our children. The great United States has so many resources. I would love to help with an organization that would see that every disabled child (and disabled adult who has the mind of a child) be supplied with this computer. That''s my personal goal for a start here, but I pray that every needy child all over the world will have a computer. What a wonderful concept!
