- Which country in the world has the largest number of computers?
- Pure quantity, that is...
-
- Parts of India are very modern, and some parts are highly
- underdeveloped. Doesnt matter if you have 700 million people,
- cause you have to have the resources. India is fast developing,
- but I hardly can think of them producing a version of DOS soon.
