Thanks to all who wrote. Problem is solved. I did not remember that we had plugged an external DVD player into the port on the XO I had and played DVDs. Suggestions are very welcome. I want the following to circulate around the world.<div> </div><div>Ken Hargesheimer</div><div> </div><div><div class="WordSection1"> GARDENS/MINI-FARMS NETWORK Workshops: USA - TX, MS, FL, CA, AR, NM, WA México, Rep.

The Bible is 1.4 MB. Therefore, a CD holds 464 copies of the Bible. A DVD holds 3,000 copies of the Bible. A dual layer DVD holds 6,000 copies of the Bibles. Just imagine what would happen if every school, church, village, library, etc in the bush of Africa, the jungles of Latin America and the mountains of Asia had a used computer and DVD library. The internet is not necessary and is too expensive for billions of people. People can study for hours on a used computer using DVDs with little or no cost. Thousands of DVDs are available on hundreds of subjects and many are free. A complete library can be on one DVD!. I have farming DVDs. Use them to train students, teachers, medical people, religious leaders, those needing vocational skills, etc. HHTwebsite copier [free] can be used to download websites into a computer from the internet. Use CDburner XP [free] to burn to a DVD. 7B people are on the earth and 2B cannot read [400M in India. 2M in the USA] but they can be educated using video/audio DVDs. All computers operate internally on 12 v. Those without electricity use a computer, internally altered, to operate directly on 12 v. from a battery with a solar charger [email for instructions]. A pedal/powered generator can be used. This opens up a whole new way teach. School in a Suitcase: <a href="http://winministries.org/website/index.php/nation2nation">http://winministries.org/website/index.php/nation2nation</a>, a religious group, has hundreds of schools in many countries; 100 in Cuba. A person with a computer [operating on 12 v.], printer and DVD library can travel from place to place, on a schedule, to teach and train people. This is a very simple, inexpensive, effective way to educate children, youth and adults Use a bicycle or a bicycle and trailer for transportation. Mobile schools: Vietnam: Computer literacy is a luxury. The Dariu Foundation provides computer training to kids in remote villages using a mobile school equipped with computers, internet access and access to DVDs in agriculture, animal feeding, etc. Not only kids but clients benefit from this school.
