Curtis. Thanks for the posting about the markle foundation E mail project.
I think it is tragic that Markle is spening these funds on e mail which for
many- perhpas most ocnsuemrs- is such an artificial way of communicating
and difficult for those who are not comfrotable writing and typing and who
do not have computers. This can't be a unifying force when so few people
have access. What is Markely doing, if you know, about facilitating access?
making computers available? and why do we need a computer to send an E
mail. Isn't there some inexpensive device like Web TV to access these
services which do not require outlay for ocmputers and modems. What is
Markle doing about htt if you know. Sorry to be such a spoiled sport but
the resources are enormous focused I think on the wrong end, the part of
population who is like Markle, welath educated and literate. That does not
describe the ordinary American Jo or am I being too elitisit myself?
