It was even worse in Indonesia. Once I realize how far behind we were in general computer news & information, I literally mailed USD$ 100 to Ziff-Davis' office That's how I got my monthly PC Magazine subscription (this was when they were the best magazine about PC) Also good technical books were practically non-existent I got my first Assembly and Norton's book from a bookstore specializing in bootleg copies Only years later I began to be able to buy good books Things are so much better now, thankfully
