&gt;
&gt;
&gt; The scarry part of this is:
&gt;
&gt; &quot;At the forum itself, Gates announced a partnership with the United 
&gt; Nations (news - web sites) to bring computer technology and literacy 
&gt; to developing countries.
&gt;
&gt; Drawing on a $1 billion Microsoft fund, the U.S. software giant will 
&gt; work with the U.N. Development Program to provide software, computer 
&gt; training and cash to establish computer centers in poor communities, 
&gt; starting with pilot projects in Egypt, Mozambique and Morocco.&quot;
&gt;
&gt; We all know his purpose behind this effort.
&gt;
Yea, I know the purpose behind this.  These places will be the next 
source of cheap IT labor after India etc become too expensive.
