> giving a computer to someone doesn't turn them into a Bill Gates or Steve Jobs just because they own it.

The point isn't to make every one of these kids a Bill Gates, it's to prevent the Bill Gates among them from living a life of poverty because they couldn't get a computer early enough.

That's your point, my point is the one of the comment.

And I guess the government didn't give the PC to everyone because "oh we need to stop our Bill Gates to run out of the country". But rather, their interest was to give equal opportunity to those in need.
