Re: tlug: Need info. about Japanese and Linux



A recent thread went:

    A-san> But in Japanese companies 486 computers are considered garbage.
    A-san> Who buys a garbage?

    B-san> わるいけど。。。

    B-san> I know a lot of Japanese people who will buy that
    B-san> "garbage" because they know that it will run Linux just
    B-san> fine.  Not all Japanese people have unlimited budgets,
    B-san> although this was a common perception in the '80s. =)

Under current policy, this kind of commentary probably belongs on
tlug-advocacy.
