Free computers are a nice idea. Except for people who don't know how to use them, people who cant afford access, etc.

This is not nostalgia. Where does a broke jobless person go? The library provides a tool for looking for a job. Where does a kid go when dad is drunk and they want to study? Or just when parents have to work and school is over? The library. Where does my grandpa go when the new computer he buys every year goes belly-up because he cant resist looking at porn and getting viruses within a month? The library. How about the homeless person with no electricity? A library provides services that cannot even approach being duplicated by handing out "free computers"

I hope that some posters are correct in saying this is politics, and will not really happen. Because if it does, it deals a massive blow to Hope.
