The other day, a vendor in town explained the delay in my consignement
 " because they had to deliver 100 computers to Makerere"
these were 2.7Ghz 256 Ram machines
compared to what we had to work with in our days !
surely that kind of cash/hardware input must have some significant impact
on all things IT in that place
