Doug appears to be quite knowledgeable regarding Asia. Paul V. techstocks.com >To: Paul V. (921 ) From: Doug DeShong Sunday, Nov 23 1997 3:56AM EST Reply #923 of 924 Paul: A couple I know recently returned from a few weeks of doing missionary work in China. One of their comments was "No matter what city we were in you could see contruction going on in every direction you looked." The building going on is basic infrastructure; roads, electric plants, public works, housing, manufacturing, etc. The computers are a necessity. Stone employs many programmers working on items such as electronic "value added tax" registers for stores, internet for communications, etc etc. Modernization is a long term project. Chinese history goes back hundreds, if not thousands of years B.C. I personally am confident that the recent hiccup in the markets has altered their plans one bit. It is too brief, too insignificant especially when compared to many of the other occurences in China over the centuries. (Besides, how often is Andy Grove wrong?) <g> Doug<

<After keeping an older (486DX) PC for about 5 years and upgrading modem, HD and RAM, I have concluded that a new PC every 2.36 years is a good idea > Its interesting that the advances are getting smaller and smaller as far as I (a user) am concerned....I've had mine 1.5 and cant imagine buying another in years, let alone next year....what if the economy turns sour....who's going to upgrade so often? Remember, this economy is ON FIRE...we may be in the "roaring 90's"...I wouldnt extrapolate too far out. DAK
