Its nice to learn that computers will be below Rs.10000/-. It is really painful to see parents become victims in the hands of Computer Teaching Institutes, where all the agents of places like Nehru Place roam around and spread the word to but the latest off the shalf stuff, which costs them upto Rs.40000/-.
