I always had people be like "Look how generous these tech companies are giving away free computers to elementary schools." And I was, even as a child like, 'Yeah its real generous to get someone to become familiar with your product when they are young, so when they buy things or ask their parents to buy things, they naturally gravitate to your product."

Generous my ass.
