As another post in this story says (and I totally agree), one of the biggest problems in our current form of government is a lack of involvement in and lack of importance placed on our democracy.
First, not sure what country you are from but America is not a democracy and never has been. It is a democratic republic, there is a difference.
next Pres. Obama said:
"With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, -- none of which I know how to work -- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation,"
The iPods, Xboxes and PlayStations were never meant to be a "tool of empowerment" but a rather "a form of entertainment", To confuse that fact shows how out of touch he really is. The iPad is a tool, how one uses it defines what it is a tool for. This from a man who cannot live without his blackberry.
I would be satisfied with XP working on the two computers, 1 desktop and 1 laptop, that I was provided only Vista for. Neither have drivers that are XP compatible. A steep discount on the Windows 7 would be a nice gesture too. Win7 is faster on my laptop but the headphone jack stopped working. Cen5
Computers can figure out all kinds of problems, except the things in the world that just don't add up.
