First, Mr. Lwin, you got to brush up on your English, grammar et. al.
Remember Daw ASSK said in her speech that Burmese expatriates must learn to
write correct English if you want to be read in this English-speaking world?

You're dead wrong again. The world's most versatile personal computer is not
an IBM compatible whether for desktop publishing or not. Again, I must
admonish you that "he who doesn't play the games shouldn't make the rules" or
make wild accusations.

As for SLORC profitting from this, you are going overboard with your
anti-SLORC sentiments. What's fair is fair.  I know people who'd kill to get
a Macintosh here in the States. Macintoshes for Burmese kids? Now, that's
what I called progressive.

Obviously you don't own a Macintosh or even use one in your daily activities.

Wrong again! Your knowledge of the PowerPC Macintosh is perfunctory - based
on hearsay.

>>So I think it is the best for our new generation to know IBM which make 
easier for them to get a job everywhere in the world.
Do you remember the Canon commercial years ago when they introduced the
auto-focus, auto-exposure AE-1 that went "It's so advanced it's simple?"
Remember that when you sit down in front of a Macintosh.

Boy, oh, boy, this guy is offended! Excuse me, sir Lwin. Obviously, you
haven't been in the United States long enough.
