Message-ID: <752@utcsrgv.UUCP> Date: Fri, 8-Feb-85 18:05:27 EST Article-I.D.: utcsrgv.752 Posted: Fri Feb 8 18:05:27 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 9-Feb-85 02:20:35 EST Distribution: net Organization: CSRI, University of Toronto Lines: 12 The Toronto *Globe and Mail* recently carried a story about the USSR launching a buying spree in the U.S.A. for personal computers. It reported that about five weeks ago the export controls on this sort of equipment were lifted. Does anyone down there in Mother America know what other items may have been affected by this move towards Free Trade in Hi-Tech? For example, *crypto equipment* perchance? How big/fast are the computers the Russians can now buy? The Globe said they had their eyes on Apples and IBM PC's, and were prepared to spend mucho dollars because of the abject failure of their own micro industry. -- Richard Outerbridge416 961-4757 Payload Deliveries: N 41 39'36", W 79 23'42", Elev. 106.47m.
