Forwarded Article

Got an email from Dad suggesting me a reading from Forbes.com. It's about the most connected campuses in the US. Went through the list, the number one most connected is RPI in NY and some of the list are like Cornel and NC-North Chapel Hill. But most of the institutes are not well-known universities. Probably, I'm the one who did not know the list of univ's in the US. Trying my best to seek for Marquette but failed. Then, figured out a list of numbers of computer in univ's with the PC/student ratio. Found out Marquette got about 7600 undergrade students with quite a high ratio of PC/student which is 19:100 (19 PC for 100 students) coz compared to other univ's Marquette's ratio is quite high. But, WUSL (Wash. Univ. St. Louis in MO, the university of which I wanted to be part of back then) has a ratio of 40:100 which is 40 PCs for 100 students. Can't imagine how ease the students to get access to the net. Even in MU I'm not having problems to get access to a PC in univ. Hey wait, Univ of Minnie, Twin Cities got a higher ratio, 71:100. Wow, that's amazing. But, in New Jersey there is a univ named Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey - New Brunswick has a ratio of 134:100, imagine they got 26800++ students but the numbers of PC beat the enrollment which is 36000 PCs. Waaa, enrolling PCs to the campus more then the students haha... but in Malaysia? UM? USM? UUM? UTM? I wonder how's the ratio... surely there hardly be a wireless spot to get access to the net in the campus' area. Hey Malaysia govt, don't you realize how far behind is the system in Malaysia? Hey Telekom Msia, don't be too arrogant of being the pioneer for introducing the broadband tech in Msia, your company still the worst! (heh, open critisizing for the better off to the Malaysian people, I hope).

Don't just shout and be proud of nothing, provide a better system in Malaysia!!! Don't give rubbish!! Don't even treat customer like they don't even exist in front your eyes! Their eyes opened wide... heh, should stop here or else cursing Malaysia will go on but it means nothing if there is no action taken next.
