Compare this company to the mainstream IT companies in Guyana such as NT Computeac, Starr Computers, GuyanaNet, Computer High Tech, etc, and the difference is clear.
Furthermore, the continued importing of PCs that can be assembled here, and using proprietary software to boot, illustrates the continued journey by the PPP into the sub-optimum for Guyana. This, of course, is compounded by the motivation seemingly being a continued rip-off of our tax dollars to benefit the ruling elite.
Computers assembled in Guyana using Linux and open source software, not only creates employment and stimulates local business, most especially for our young people, but will use less power than Microsoft Windows, and be much less susceptible to malware (viruses, etc) as well. Brazil has embraced Linux and open source on a massive scale, offering us a successful model to adopt.
Good point there bhai...
