UNIX has been chosen as the official "Open System" for China. All govt agencies, manufacturing plants, lab, offices, etc., etc., will be using UNIX!!!!! A special version of UNIX will be developed by the USL people to adopt to the China market. 7 millions copies is expected to be sold by mid 1990s. Great opportunities for all our UNIX experts. Wait till we get all these UNIX boxes everywhere in China and we will turn on the UUCP and USENET. ;) ;) China, are you ready for alt.sex and soc.culture.china.democracy? ;) ;) -- John Ho from Dallas, Texas USA.

More information in comp.os.linux or FTP tsx-11.mit.edu:/pub/linux. : Wait till we get all these UNIX boxes everywhere in China and : we will turn on the UUCP and USENET. ;) ;) China, are you : ready for alt.sex and soc.culture.china.democracy? ;) ;) I think not ;-) nut Linux has uucp, so one does need to buy only 386 based computer to run it. And if you like to pay for it send checks to Linus Torvalds ;-) : John Ho from Dallas, Texas USA. (j...@jho.com) arl // wo3 xue2 xi2 han4 yu3 // hope to be in China 5/93 .. dunno yet
