I was glad to hear that you have introduced a Hindi computing system, but
was distressed that you did not mention any other Indian languages in your
announcement.  As you may know, Hindi is used by a minority of the Indian
population -- and the literacy rate in Hindi areas is quite low.  I hope
that you will make it a priority to introduce computer systems in the other
major languages -- especially Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali,
Gujerati.  These languages have compartively high literacy (and education)
rates; you will sell many machines if you enter these virtually untapped
markets of more than half a billion people.

Sincerely Yours,
