KLUB@maristb.bitnet (Richard Budd) (02/10/91)
A fourth year electrical engineering student at the Technical University of Wroclaw (we met in Czestochowa last September) sent me a letter just the other day. His school received through a donation IBM Personal Computers and associated software. He is looking for information about what equipment he or his school would need to connect their terminals to BITNET or any other international computer network. The TU at Wroclaw (pronounced VROA-swauv, not ro-CLAW) has a mainframe computer, also an IBM though he didn't say what Series it was. He's in his second year of learning English and it takes a little effort to understand what he's trying to say. Feel free to post responses to either my IBM or Marist accounts. BTW, more and more children are learning English in Eastern Europe. Five years ago, classes in English were scarce, primarily because the Communist governments discouraged it in the schools in favor of Russian. The former East Germany came up with the least offensive (to the Soviets that is) solution. Students are required to choose between Russian and English. Virtually all the kids opt for English!
