.35 micron. Oooooh! Give me a break. And who the Hell cares anyway about China? The country is dirt poor and will remain so until their people get their head out of their asses and overthrow that fossilized government. Just remember, never before in history has a centrally planned economy outperformed - in the long run - a market economy. And China ain't no exception my friend.

Shanghai Gotop Unveils East-1 to Rival Microsoft's Venus nikkeibp.asiabiztech.com June 10, 1999 (SHANGHAI, China) -- To compete with Microsoft Corp.'s Venus Plan, aired in Shenzhen in March, Shanghai Gotop Research Co., Ltd. unveiled East-1, a similar net-surfing gadget. As part of the company's East Plan, the new East-1 machine enables users of regular television sets to access the Internet for online games, software, email and other facilities, according to Cui Wei, general manager of Gotop. "Since East-1 has been researched and developed by domestic manufacturers, its price will be only half of the Venus operating system," Cui said. He added that customers also can use the new product for word processing, as a fax machine and as a video CD player. The Shanghai Yihao Industrial Co., Ltd. already has signed a contract with Gotop to buy 100,000 of its East-1 machines. Industry analysts are optimistic about the future of new products, as China remains the world's largest potential computer and electrical appliances market. The availability of PCs to Chinese families is less than three percent, and China's Internet users have just exceeded two million. (Xinhua News Agency)
