[ih] Fwd: [Blacks-In-Technology] History of the (Black) Internet

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

With all due respect, and I have very little, there is no such thing
as "Black Internet" and what does skin color have to do with
anything?

Randy Busch has done more for African Internet than anyone.

Mike Lawrie
François Jacot-Guillarmod
Henry Watermeyer
Alan Barrett

were, each in a different way, extremely helpful from 1990 onwards
in assisting (Southern) Africa.

Stefano Trumpy
Abraham Grebrehiwot

from the RINAF project.

I rembember also

Shem Ochuodho
Charles Musisi
and the University of Mozambique Computer Center


and of course

Nii Quaynor



But my email archives only goes until 1999 and we started this all
in 1989/90.
