Also last known PC census in govt indicated 60 civil servants shared 1 computer (in terms of ratio).
What do I think? New priority Bill barring non-ICT literate aspirants from contesting in 2007 parliamentary general elections.
How many reckon it'd sail through the house?

I would like to share with you a short true story.
This past weekend i happened to be on holiday with a
sitting MP and we were discussing the ipod and how its
revolutionized the way we sort, save and listen to
music.
I asked him jokingly how many MP's do you think own an
ipod and he said certainly not more than five, reason
being only five computers are ever switched on a daily
basis at the Continental Hse where MP's have their
offices. He even told me
about some MP's that struggle
sending and receiving text.
i don't know whether to believe it but what do you
guys think?
cheers.
