A comment from my old stamping ground Cork asks is the site even live, adding that the ‘latest news’ date is a year old. I have actually seen more recent references, notably an ENN news item:
“New scheme to boost home PC use
24-04-2007 by Maxim Kelly
The Irish Government has given the go-ahead to an IT industry project to improve Ireland's PC penetration. Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and Information Society Minister Tom Kitt launched the Home Computing Initiative on Monday.”
See also a reference recently in Clare Lifelong Learning
under upcoming Events.
As a site HCI comes over as a political/corporate PR exercise, so constructed as to discourage active involvement. As of now it is somewhat unwieldy and is unlikely to attract many participants.

13 WHAT HAPPENED TO ‘KEEP IT SIMPLE’?
Needless to say, as a logical sequence to all of the foregoing posts in this blog I am continually searching for all relevant developments.
So! How about H.C.I!
Interesting logo! Opens up into a very complex document! Not sure where it’s leading to except that I get a distinct impression I’m being led around the garden path. I hear what could be instructions from above “if they ask about broadband or anything like that just give 2 teaspoons of HCI at regular intervals until you see the glazed look in their eyes”.
What are the ingredients of HCI, you say?
Hard to define! Essentially, it is a mix of principles, guidelines, objectives and numerous other sub-clauses and caveats blended together so skilfully as to leave the reader completely baffled.
Right now I think that we should give it to the Seanad!
Somehow appropriate!

12 Come On Seniors Get Involved Here!
I've been ranting on about getting Seniors into action on internet activity.
Now comes a golden opportunity; take a look at a busy professional and an initiative to get a group of seniors going on building their own blogs.
This could well be the start of a realisation across the board.
