One destination to think about is the USSR.  Someone had a plan to ship
many PCs there a few years ago and the plan was reportedly vetoed by both
the US and the USSR.  The US vetoed it because of technology restrictions.
The USSR vetoed it because computers can be used to dissminate information
which is not always in the government's interest.

Right now the USSR probably would accept them.  Sending them a bunch of
machines might help ensure that the current moves toward pluralism
continue and remain.
