Precisely my point! Thank you.
People in wealthier areas tend to ignore the realities of the rest of the
world. So far as I know, gcc isn't just written for people in the U.S. and
Western Europe; perhaps I was wrong. Even in the U.S., there exist
significant segments of society that can not spend $500 on a new computer
every year or so.
Why is it that I successfully and economically drive a 17 year-old truck in
a world where a 17 MONTH-old computer is considered obsolete and unworthy of
consideration?
