Well said Jean.
I just don't know why I don't get an answer about my response to the Black
Box forum.
I rethought about this last night. The abscence of the continent of Africa
as a subject is pretty strange.
Maybe because they are not in IT land proper they are not on Chris Gray's
map.
Cabral's revolt against the Portugese would have to be a groundbreaking
moment in politics.
Without that you'd have no Mandela.
And East Timor as I said. Happening in realtime, 2009.
