a little birdy told me they are just a crummy Lenovo desktop clone, which isn't surprising they are just copies, the NKs are exceptional counterfeiters and copiers


When I learned to program I used a clone of Apple II. At that time it was the only way to produce computers in my country (former communist one). http://www.pravetz.info/images/pravetz/photo-imko-2-1.jpg


I hear former Soviet people had to buy US manuals to understand how to program for their copied systems. But they had to claim they were "theoretical" guides, because the copied systems weren't officially copies.

And that they could study Western economics, as long as they filled it under "mathematics".
