| Computers Coming to Castro's Cuba |
| 2008-05-03 |
Computers went on sale to the general public on the communist island on Friday and potential consumers were lining up outside store windows to gawk and consider buying. Computer sales are the latest of a series of measures Castro has taken to make life easier for ordinary Cubans.
The new government also has erased bans on cell phones and luxury hotel room rentals, and has made it easier for state workers to own homes they once rented as part of their jobs. It also is letting more private farmers and cooperatives take a crack at putting fallow government land to better use. |
