Real PCs and a real Internet
"... the PC4All runs on open source software, and compatible open source applications, providing opportunities for students to study, analyze and build upon the openly available source code."
I’M EXCITED about two developments in the technology
arena, something that will affect all consumers and help to improve our
lives.
First, is the empowerment of our youth and office workers through a genuine low-cost PC initiative, and second are the concrete moves to create a real Internet in the Philippines.
The PC4All initiative is a result of a review of the failed PC ng Bayan initiative of 2005.
Wheareas the older PC ng Bayan was an ugly commodity PC loaded with expensive commercial software, the new PC4All is a sleek compact unit loaded with free, industry-standard, open-source software.
