Where did I say that I wanted India to spend it's entire GDP on food? My comment was that USD 88 million may be better spent (IMO) on developing infrastructure to help feed the population. Your point on not spending money on eduaction, computers etc is a valid point. Obviously people are employed to make this moon venture a reality, and, the money they make will help stimulate the local economy. What I'm saying is that I think the USD 88 million could be better spent.
I agree! In India's case, why are they not spending the USD 88 million on providing infrastructure needed to produce more food to feed their population? Going to the moon is great and all, but when you have hunger and sanitation issues that are a daily problem in many parts of India, I think this kind of money could be better spent.
I have used a Rakgear backpack for the last 2 years. It has held up very well, and in addition to a padded "sleeve" for the notebook itself, it also has 2 racks to support textbooks or whatever else you would want to carry in the remainder of the bag. I bought mine at a computer reseller here in Canada, but I know that they are available in Radio Shack as well.
To think that I can now buy a 15 inch PB for $200 more than the price I paid for my iBook 600....pretty awesome actually. I love when a company can continue to improve a product and actually bring prices down.
