Oh, some more observations slightly off-topic:<br>
<br>
Here in Manila, internet cafe rates are now cheap due to extreme<br>
popularity and proliferation. You can go surfing or playing LAN games<br>
for 20 Pesos/hour which is about 42 cents. Going home, I pass through<br>
a depressed area and there are 5 internet cafes in there.<br>
<br>
I've seen 6-8 year old street children in groups of about 3, pooling<br>
together money to play 3D realtime strategy games like the newest<br>
command and conquer or counterstrike and take turns at the seat<br>
playing in cafes playing. They have absolutely no problem navigating<br>
windows.<br>
<br>
Hole in the Wall project all over again.<br>

Only this time they're playing counterstrike and blowing up tanks in<br>
complex 3D RTS games :-/<br>
