What's next microwave pizza?

The latest reform brought to the Cuban people by President Raul Castro.

The first legalised home computers have gone on sale in Cuba, but a ban remains on internet access.

This is the latest in a series of restrictions on daily life which President Raul Castro has lifted in recent weeks.

Maybe IBM still has some of their PCjr warehoused somewhere. They could make a killing in Cuba right now, that's if any Cuban people can affprd tp buy a PC..

Hat tip- Dr. Taylor at Poliblog who writes- "So, basically, the late-1980s have arrived! (Sans Prodigy, Compuserve and your local BBS, of course)." Can cellphones and microwaves be that far away?

Next year, Raul promises that every Cuban will be allowed to buy a Ferrari and a Rolex. All they need is money.

The ignoramii of the ruling class will soon send a massive shockwave into the Cuban lumpenproletariat causing an embrace of Western idealism and culture. What a shame, a once promising Marxist regime failed so miserably.

DoubleU:

I know a Cuban who left Cuba in 1999/2000, he had a computer and internet access.
