Did you ever heard about what they did with Abdus Salam? and motivating your kids to do MCP is nonsense? yea she was great but still i think she dont worth to have things named after her. It would be better if they promote real giants (Alan Turing, Dennis Ritchie etc), most of Pakistanis are unaware of them. They think computer science is just Microsoft and Bill gates.

They are naming their IT Parks after her. That is absurd and completely illogical. I guess Pakistani will soon include her doings and sayings in their Computer Science courses.
