Well, there exist a smallish first world segment, a lot larger (second world) 
(?) segment, and an even larger third world segment ...

They used mainly RA, Maximus,  and then myself use MBSE BBS (Linux), and the 
only remaining large system I am aware off, runs a modified ifmail system, no 
BBS as such - mail only ... , their are racism issues, and the most racist are 
the blacks themselves, but then they have their own definition of racism ... 
:-(( , simply put, if it is not on their agenda, then it is racist, they are 
still blaming the old regime, for their lack of ability to deliver on their 
election promises 13 years after those promises where made etc. Credibilty, 
has no meaning to most of them ...  ... but that is all another story 
for another day ...

 ML> Do people use the internet or Fidonet more ?

Well internet access has improved over the last 5 years or so, and most people 
have forggoten FTN technology, except a number of "medical" networks that 
still operate using FTN Technology networks ...

 ML> Do they know what Warcraft is ?

Yes, I play a little online Counter-Strike Source time to time ... :-)

 ML> Are there roads in Africa ?
