 JE> Then, I suppose is the question "How/where did they get their computers in
 JE> the first place?"

Well, I can tell you, they aint having big P4:s and flat screens and all that 
stuff.
Only old things, what I saw, mostly running DOS. Some had 98 installed and some
XP and it took them hours to open any program. They were very impressed by
my P4 laptop with a CD-burner and that I could connect my UMTS (3G) phone to it
via Ir and surf the web totally wireless. They had heard that it is possible to 
make
videocalls but never seen a phone that could do it and all this and much moore
is normal for us to use every day.
And this was only for those who came in contact with tourists. A farmer in 
Bulgaria
was very happy when he could change his donkey for a horse.....It's true. You 
just
can't imagine. They still drive around in Trabant and Moscowitch from 1950 made
from German helmets from WWII and in old Russian 4WD jeeps from 1938.
So, you see that it isn't like in US or here in every country in the world.
