    Even though this is a great idea, it’s also incredibly unreasonable.

    There will be people cheating the hell out of this, because let’s face it. What people need is not a free computer. They need food and money.

    What ever that is possible to scrape from these machines, the market will open for it today if you launch your computer tomorrow.

    It’s a nice thought, but it’s the wrong way going around this. If you really want to make a difference, you open up your business somewhere in an area you want to help and you create jobs.

    Stable income is a sure way road to decrease in crinimal activity and a more safe society. THEN you can consider providing free stuff, when there’s no reason to abuse it.

    Maybe I’m too pessimistic, and I’d love to be convinced otherwise.
