Mohan: Re India IT action Man, this is too big to comprehend. 20% of exports may be software? Somebody will need computers to use that. Good fast ones, like those made by Dell.(G). I don't believe we can get a handle on the exact magnitude of communication requirements. The newspaper industry magnified by 10 or 100 ?. One TV program displayed the inside of a small ISP building. Servers and racks( not cheap) lining both walls, connected by muliticolored large cables just under the ceiling of the room. There is a company just getting started building those down in South Texas- believe its called Dell.Worth looking into- might do well. Adding people -you know. just kidding- have a good weekend. It may be time to call that MBZ dealer again. Another +$5 and I may do that too. Sig

Center for Y2K Strategic-Stability for crisis prevention Bhupendra Jasani, a remote-sensing expert at Kings College in London recommends the formation of Y2K Strategic-Stability Centers to handle problems at the dawn of Y2K by India and Pakistan. This crisis control center will prevent a nuclear launch by either country. India and Pakistan can face each other and confront with satellite images and ask for transparency and explanations. At the Dawn of Y2K, satellites may become blind and computer glitches could stop flow of data to various nations. This will lead to edginess among nations. In USA, on New Year's eve, as Y2K dawns, the nuclear nations are gathering at Center for Y2K Strategic Stability Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. "The US will share data coming in from its own Y2K-compliant systems. The idea is that it is in America?s interest to keep sudden blindness from afflicting other nations in time of peace". There are only a few nations with satellite imagery.
