A GIFT TO THE LIBRARY The Troy Public Library recently
announced they received $10,400 from the Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation to buy new computers and computer equipment
for the library’s computer lab. I hope they aren’t required
to buy Microsoft products; no kid deserves the soul-killing
misery my Microsoft operating system put me through on production
day this week.
