You guys really don't get what KatolaZ was saying, do you?

Average yearly income per-capita in Sub-Saharan Africa is $2,041.00 per
year:

If somebody in Africa manages to cannibalize a few Pentiums, mix and
match parts to produce a functional computer, and find a way to afford
the 300 watts it costs to run it for an hour or so a week, such a person
would be mighty thankful for a good 32 bit Linux.

Must be nice, living in the West, to assume the disposable income to
buy a new car every 15 years or buy a computer every 10 years, but
there are places where such things are scarce and competed over.

There are places in this world where an Amish buggy, let alone a 1992
Chevy Lumina, would be an unaffordable luxury, and I have a feeling the
inhabitants of those places are what KatolaZ was talking about.
