did someone piss on your Lunchpack in India ?
your posting sounds like a spray of Acid.....not very realistic
I have travelled to India between 1986 to 1993 VERY frequently (about 200 times..I lost count) on short trips of about 3-4 day's most of the time and a few times a bit longer.
I have visited Madras, Bombay, New Delhi, Calcutta, Bangalore as well as some rural end of the world area somewhere between New Delhi and Calcutta.
I have frozen my butt off in the winter and got cooked in over 46 C in the summer and got blasted by sand storm's in New Delhi and that far out rural area.
My places I stayed were not the plush 5 star hotels but "fallen star's" hotel's and some private houses.
Never have I experienced 42C inside any house or hotel because, to your surprise maybe, the air cons all worked (well..almost all of the time)
So...I don't know...maybe you are such a nature freak and you put up your computer desk out in the open air ?
Have I experienced brown out's? Oh yes....all over India and I did that also in Manila (up to half a day) Penang, Bangkok and to my surprise it even happend here in Singapore.
And you know what ?
In ALL this places they have used computers for a long time, are still using them and will always use them.
How? well...sometime it beats me too...but despite of your oppinion or anybody else's....they can and they do !
With regard's to purchasing power....well..if you HAVE travelled to India yourself and put your nose into the small and medium enterprises that exist all over the country then you would also have seen that they USE COMPUTERS and not only the large companies.
With regards to private user's.....well..don't you think that out of one billion people there will be enough buyers who can afford to buy a Mac because MANY of them already own a computer and that are not only the "super rich ones".
How many of us on this forum are belonging to the group of "super rich" ?
well....my hands are down.
