	AP: Barksdale won't fund scholarships - Boston.com - K-12 - News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Jim Barksdale, of Jackson, and his wife had donated $100 million in January 2000 to create the Barksdale Reading Institute, which offers books and other teaching materials to improve literacy among children in low-performing public schools in Mississippi.
		Jim Barksdale said he got the idea while reading newspaper accounts of the state's struggle to fund a school system that for years lagged behind the rest of the country.
		Barksdale will not create $50 million in scholarships for Mississippi students because legislators did not fulfill his condition that they fully fund public schools, his brother, Claiborne Barksdale, told The Associated Press on Tuesday May 31, 2005.

		Barksdale said that the literacy effort by himself and his wife was also instigated by a prediction in the business world that more than half of all U.S. workers would most likely be employed in the technology sector by the year 2006.

	Legal Documents
		Barksdale had implemented a business model under which McCaw gave away cellular phones—which are nothing more than the "client" end of the cellular network—in order to induce people to pay for network services (that is, their cellular service).
		Barksdale asked how Microsoft had solved the phonebook problem, and we explained that we had done a "hack," meaning a piece of code that would work in one instance, but would not be supportable by anyone other than the developer who wrote the code.
		Barksdale said that he was glad that he had not accepted Microsoft’s offer, since Netscape was already "hyped" too much and the stock price, at IPO and subsequently, had risen to a point that was difficult to support.
