another reason to give the money to the states...

Speaking at the National Press Club, Mr McNealy also implored the Government to stop wiring up schools and
start spending on online teaching aids.

Sun Microsystems, co-founded by Mr McNealy, is a key competitor to Microsoft's digital domination.

"Do you know how useless internet connections in every classroom are?" he said.

"What is that going to do -- unless there is (an) online curriculum that supports the efforts of the teacher?

"And you know why we are not getting online (curriculums)? Because schools have no money. Government
should not be wiring the schools but spending money with software developers and professors, and publishing
their efforts for free on the internet. Every neighbourhood and school will get their kids online if there is something
to see online."
