[DUG] Cross platform musings

[Paul A Norman]

Good on you Jeremy,
But I think you will find there is a wide spread ignorance amongst
many western developers in what is happening in Asia.

For so long the westerner has thought they were in the lead.  And assumes it
is still so.  I spent five months in and out if the USA and in many sectors
they still blindly believe that they are the world leaders still.
