Perhaps, but is that:
a) Schools for dependents of US citizens working for US
companies in Bahrain,
b) local schools in an wealthy country (i.e., the government
is wealthy even if the citizenry isn't)
c) only the schools located in the major cities?
In the philippines, it ain't true. Heck, my girlfriend's sister-in-law's
family doesn't even have a telephone.
There is a company here in San Francisco that ships hundreds (if not
thousands) of older PC's and such overseas *everyday*. They're huge, and
it's really an amazing operation. And yes, they occassionally get some
classic computers worth saving.
