lug_: Re: Uganda high computing needs?

[Mark Wycliff Lukyamuzi]

We baaaaaadly need lots of that...man u ought to visit some govt depts to see this need...some secretaries and "copy typists" are still hammering away at old rusty typwriters.... and processing of info is toooooo slow in certain places that i would lay fiber to jinja and back b4 the request is completed.....:-) we really need to start agitating for computerising every govt dept. Some depts do have the data collected but storage, processing and analyzing is done manually....   Marko ----- Original Message ----- From: Kiggundu Mukasa To: LUG Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003 11:43 AM Subject: lug_: Uganda high computing needs? Is there a need in Uganda (or the great lakes region) for high computational tasks to be done over a shorter time span? What are high computational tasks that Uganda needs to do?  BoU data? HIV/Health-realted data from Mulago?, Weather data?, Makerere data? Lake Vic data?  Are we not collecting data and thus do not need to analyze/compute/use it?
