rude "China may have more than a billion people but only about 1 in 10,000" your calculation would mean that 100 thousand can afford. But this is not at all correct. Computers in China are NOT being pruchased primarily by individuals but by BUSINESSES and COOPERATIVES. The cooperatives (still communistic by the way) are purchasing computers for each individual family within their cooperative even though the family in that cooperative only shows an income of $20US monthly. The cooperative still makes most of the money for the village. If you go into China you will be surprised to find that cooperative family members own TVs, fax machines, VCRs, etc. "Computer" is their number one choice of ownership now - more important than cars. As for "electricity" - wireless connects to computers and cooperative owned generators power most outlying villages. So, the picture of "affordability" in China is different than what is being painted here.
