Hello, I am actually moving to open source, because it rocks and rocks are free.Am a newbie at open source and this mailing list so to say. Though some comments sounded kind of harsh I finally got my way around this having taken @Odhiambo's advice. If we keep looking down at generations just because tech solutions are all over the place and cheaper, then our fathers will boast that they went through school without Google and Wikipedia. That way we would be sitting on a rocking-chair, keeping ourselves busy but going nowhere. I appreciate your advice though. Have a good day. //Stephen On Thu, Feb 16, 2012 at 8:18 AM, aki <aki275@gmail.com> wrote:
@Paul, IMHO. In my generation if we had all the free and loan computers, cheap internet, better infrastructure, mobile networks and phones am sure we would have made significant changes. In 1987 i bought the IBM PC which was like buying a car. These newer generations have it all yet cannot produce an iota of a single of a difference. If what is there today in the KE ICT sector as has been achieved by the PS, KICTB, Min of InfoCom was there in the 80s, can you just imagine what would have been achieved? At those times we were running token ring networks, nowadays its the total no fools guess ethernet. I surely look down at the newer generations, they are nothing more than pre-programmed end users.
@Wash, hahaha.. :-)
