USA   New program about computers on WRMI.
"Computer Beat" is the name of a new program on WRMI dealing with the
world of computers, the world wide web, developments with PC's (personal
computers) and how people are using them, the latest releases in
software, and information on how to get access to computers and to the
Internet. Hosted by Michael Erbschloe, Computer Beat is broadcast
Sundays at 2100-2115 UTC (4:00-4:15 pm Eastern time) on 9955 kHz.
One of the major computer developments in recent years has been the
Internet and the world wide web. "And people are talking about this
around the world," explains Erbschloe. "It's a good way for you -- if
you are in a remote area -- to access information that probably was not
available to you before you managed to get some sort of Internet access
and a computer.  We'll be talking about some of those resources on the
Computer Beat international edition on WRMI." (WRMI, Mar 2)

THA. RFA does not have permission of those two countries for access to those
VOA relay facilities. (BBCM via AGDX, Mar 1)
