Pan African Studies: notes

Since no-one reads this i thought i might just use it to take notes today. 1652 -> Jan Van Ri 1800 -> British went to india before it devided brought indians to SA to work in Sugar Cane Plantations as enslaved people. Boers: Dutch / Afrikaaners... Boer War.. Created language: Afrikaan and raised it to national language.  Boer War - Fighted for "Their land".  1948 -> Gave discrimination "Apartheid" a name. Word comes from word apart but means more than a people seperated.  / Apartheid    +- Whites 4+ Million     |   ( Men from the british empire and Boers     |    and desendents )    +- Indians 2+ Million     |   ( Honorary Whites)     |    +- Coloreds 2+ Million     |   (desendents of the whites and     |   the Indiginous Women )    +- Indiginous 45+ Million / Apartheid / Education   +- Whites $1000 per child    |   (Full Curiculum)   +- Indians $200 per child    |  ( Math & Science )    +- Coloreds $100 per child    |   +- Indiginous $25 - $15 per child 87% Land owned by Euro Affricans *8% of the people. You had a pass to go into different areas higher up the apartheid ladder. or even be in your own area.  You could only go into white area if you get a stamp that lasted 72 hours.  You could get it for service to whites. Compounds called Hostels.  Worse than many prisons here.  To work in the cities non-whites had to live in hostels cut off from family.Euro Affricans could have indiginous servants live in"guest" homes. Work would be around $10 a month. husb & Wife must work, 72hr rule made it so you had to live on the out-side of town you had work so husb & wife couldnt live together

2006, the year for mergers complete

Well there is another big merger.  And I find I have little problem with them.  They end up with better products and (sometimes) cheeper prices. At the turning of the callendar two biggies were SBC and Adobe.  Both eating up companies nearly as big as them.  While Adobe kept its name over macromedia, SBC can't be blamed for using the more globaly known AT&T (now at&t).  But this week when going over roxio's website another change at the new year was Sonic Solutions born of Roxio and Sonic.  Both are good solid programs with their own sets of problems.  With a fresh new company me hopes they can turn out a mega DVD solution for the PC that will match the ease of creating DVDs on the PC. BTW, I just got a new widget for my powerbook that lets me post anything from my dashboard. (for those who don't speak mac, it means its now easier to post, maybe I will write more often.)
