I enjoy Mitch Kapor. I loved Lotus 123 when it came out. I clearly remember the box, 3 ring binder, and the efficiency it brought to my office.

The idea of "bridging the digital divide" is emminently commendable. But to justify that it is needed to promote social activism is a bit of a stretch. Instead it can be easily justified as a tool to help people gain productive skills, and/or produce goods and services valuable enough that people will pay for willingly.

Making the world a better place is more about adding fresh value rather than reshuffling the value that already exists.
