Back on the List

Yeah... it's kind of strange. It looks like it used to be a pretty nice place, say around 1950 or so, when it was British owned. Beautiful streets lined with canals, very spacious. It was like a town, very well-laid out. Beautiful wooden buildings, and of course, a full British infrastructure. Now... as you probably can guess, under a communist leader who didn't allow flour to be imported for 17 years, it's started to crumble. And you know what happens to beautiful wooden buildings when you're in a country with hundreds of trillions of termintes... To be back on topic (well, sort of) there's no real computers here. Just a whole bunch of PC's... and all the ones paritally classic, (mostly old PC's, usually 16-bit era), are still being used and viciously guarded. The power here's also amazingly strange: 110v (which is good, after spending 4 years in a 220v country with all 110v equipment), but 50hz. Sure, I've heard of 110v 60hz, and 220v 50hz... but not a mixture. I can get my Apple IIc to boot fine with local power (or when we're running off of 110v 60hz generator power), but my II+ isn't as lucky. Any reason why this wouldn't work? Tim
