En comparación a la propuesta de Mi Primer PC, NuestroPC es por lejos superior. Y lo mejor es que nace y es desarrollado desde el movimiento ciudadano liderado por un grupo de bloggers, espíritu que se refleja en el soporte que ofrecerá NuestroPC: una red de voluntariado compuesta principalmente por estudiantes universitarios; muchas personas que están dispuestas a trabajar gratis por superar la brecha digital en nuestro país.
Excelente.
