This same subject was brought up months ago, when some wanna-be development expert believed that we should send old TRS-80 machines to Africa. I said it before, and I will say it again........"When will we stop treating Africa like some backward colonial state full of unintelligent people?" When will we be smart enough to break the cycle of dependancy we create by sending trash overseas?
