[DUG] Cross platform musings

[Paul A Norman]

One of the things that is slowly getting my attention more and more, is that
we have been USA focussed for so long, the we are barely able
to recognize the rising skill set of the multitude of Asian developers and
inov innovators.
There is one Japanese professor who developed a complete super efficient 32
bit operating system apparently easily portable to 64 concepts, who was only
held back by the Japanese Government from free pooling it.

The Chinese are moving ahead in leaps and bounds, the Vietmenese never cease
to surprise me, and Indian developers are moving to conepts that we have
bearely heard of.
We may all be outflanked and surprised by things that we can barely read or
understand one day very soon!
