sChOOL Pak - Indian wins

This time itz not me twisting the casing of the blog title. This is a `cool' back-pack personal computer for school kids designed by an Indian.
It has won the Chairman's Award in the Next Generation Windows OS PC Design Competition at CES in Las Vegas.

"Chandra's design, "sChOOL Pak," was selected over 200-odd entries, by Microsoft's Chairman and Chief Software Architect, Bill Gates."

"Microsoft received 195 entries from 33 nations - with many coming from students and independent designers. Among those who inquired about the competition was a 14-year-old Indian girl. "
