PC Welt authors don't date their articles (and they had an odd sudden spewage
into the Google News aggregator last Friday). My bet is that India can take
care of its own software needs. I don't know about hardware though. The
Chinese are big when it comes to software and India is blooming in the
software business.
Best wishes,
Roy
