“French authorities will give out 175,000 USB memory sticks
loaded with open-source software to Parisian high-school students
at the start of the next school year.“The sticks will give the students, aged 15 and 16, the freedom

café–but at a much lower cost than providing notebook
computers for all, a spokesman for the Greater Paris Regional
Council said Friday.
