Men of AntiArctica, greetings from the warm north. I am
|
|||
|
|
speaking to you as an U S citizen and Electrical Engineer working
|
|||
|
|
with the most popular, most mass-produced computer in the world
|
|||
|
|
(IBM-PC). Powerful, now-inexpensive, and mass-produced by the
|
|||
|
|
millions, this machine is the AK-47 rifle of computer equipment--
|
|||
|
|
they are everywhere! Unfortunately, this computer can not be
|
|||
|
|
considered a world-standard because the software is still based
|
|||
|
|
on the English language.
|
|||
|
|
I firmly beleive it would be better to have a standard,
|
|||
|
|
world-wide environment of software based on the world
|
|||
|
|
interlanguage ESPERANTO--providing easy software tools for WORK,
|
|||
|
|
PLAY, LEARNING, and MANAGEMENT; and thus bringing the
|
|||
|
|
perfectly-valid concept of the Esperanto world-interlanguage into
|
|||
|
|
the "Information & Telecommunications Age". I can provide the
|
|||
|
|
software and the training materials (tapes, books, and printouts
|
|||
|
|
to learn and use Esperanto for English, Spanish, and Russian
|
|||
|
|
speakers), and you have the perfect place at which to implement
|
|||
|
|
it. Together, we could have the whole continent of AntArctica
|
|||
|
|
(200 men) speaking to each other in Esperanto in 1989, and using
|
|||
|
|
battery powered IBM-PC Esperanto computers for scientific
|
|||
|
|
data-processing, management, and entertainment.
|
|||
|
|
I am not trying to sell you anything, I will give you what I
|
|||
|
|
have (by mail and in-person at Punta Arenas); because the concept
|
|||
|
|
is good and I would like to see it work.
|
|||
|
|
My wife an I have scheduled a vacation to Chile an I will be in
|
|||
|
|
Punta Aranas, Chile on January 25-27, 1989. It would be good to
|
|||
|
|
meet with Sr. Patrico Calderon of COMAPA, and with any
|
|||
|
|
representative from Palmer Station to discuss the possibilities
|
|||
|
|
and advantages of Esperanto and computers. If you contact me by
|
|||
|
|
mail, I could bring additional tape-players or a battery-operated
|
|||
|
|
computer for donation to Palmer Station personnel. Looking
|
|||
|
|
forward to hearing from you soon.
|

Regards,
