Seriously. My parent were broke, too, and they went to some spiel on a timeshare to get a blisterkey timex mini computer thing (this by the way is how we got our family toaster, as well). But it spoke basic. And I started there. With a free POS computer that was more like a calculator. Arguments about privilege and CS degrees are apologetic and sound an awful lot like excuse-making. Access means a lot, but it's irresponsible to alienate entire classes with broad-stroke generalizations. This is the same sort of crap that makes the Left look so lame. And I can't quite get the intent behind the post. If it's simply to increase access, then that's a noble cause. But it sure seemed more like whining.
