Cubans can't afford the high priced monopolistic MSFT software needed to access the internet.

Are you aware of just how few cubanos have net connections? .. and how few of those are likely to be investors, and so make their way to Silicon Investor?

They should be here, for sure ... and one day they will be here ... but there are a lot of walls to tear down first, starting with the US denial of freedom of travel to its citizens and Castro's control of information ... the net could help greatly in this imho.

Also student exchanges, in volume - if you want to overthrow Castro send your kids to Cuba and put up cubano kids in the US. Especially early teenagers - an irresistible force.
