(e.g. standardizing Apple computer over IBM compatible).  
------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps the true graphics interface of Apple Macintosh is good for Myanmar.
Converting the system software to handle Burmese characters is easier than
IBM compatible which is, in case you don't know, is based on ASCII (read
English.)

Since English is not the mother tongue (tongue-in-cheek) of Burmese (or
Myanmarese), a graphics computer that is famously easy to learn and use is
good for Burma. 

So, Mr. Lwin or Ko Thura or whatever you might want to call yourself, 'butt
off' the Macintosh.  You don't know what you're talking about.
