Since I was a student, in 1996, my first's insights into Internet were only by E-Mail Methods, in times of Gerald Boyd as moderator of this respectable list. Since that time things have not changed very much. I have had access to a slow, unreliable and expensive Internet. I still need of these early learned methods to access the World "Wide" Web.
Why? Well there are many reasons, but the United States blockade against my little island is one big explanation. Cuba, in the middle of the Caribbean where many continental fiber optics cables met, has no connection to any of them. I would like to thanks to all of you, who maintain, provide services, helping the rest of us without direct access to Internet. Most of you are United States citizens, non profit organizations and the like, proving that our two peoples are victims of this policy. I would like to make also a call for any Initiative to contribute to the help for the good relations between our governments. In this days, when my little Island have being struck by the hurricanes Gustav and Ike; when yesterday October 29, 185 of 192 United Nations members voted against this policy for the 16th occasion since 1996; it is an excellent moment for the cease of what United States government calls euphemistically "embargo". This affects all aspects of our live, not just IT. Yours, Bs.
