Jim, Every time someone mentions 3rd world markets for computers, I think of the story you E-Mailed me about the tribesman who cracked a nut open with an IBM modem. -G- My experience is that people in 3rd world countries are much more likely to go for electricity first, then refrigerators, t.v.s, air conditioning, etc. and computers are pretty far down on their list of things to buy with their money. Companies may think computing is nice in those countries, but without a dependable power or phone system, it is not quite a necessity. MB
