Well, I was Peace Corps a few years ago, Guatemala 67-69. I am a computer
user but not an expert.

Let me pose a hypothesis, that just came to me two minutes ago. The portable
personal computer will be the most important computer export from the first
to third world. Why, not becauase they are portable but because they do not
need a reliable plug-in electrical supply. This makes the deomocratization of
computer capabilities much more feasible.
