As for your statistics about schools offering computers or not, dusty old ones or otherwise, I don't give a tinker's curse. If a school doesn't give me what i want I simply don't go there. Some schools have refused my demands-I don't work for those schools-How you can argue with that beggars belief.

Dear tomas,

But I still keep you posting I see, despite your junket to get your Z visa and upcoming trip to the thai beaches:=)

Haven't much time just now, but I will answer the quoted part for now. You don't give a tinkers curse, then why bother reading it? And what I said is fact, I have probably been teaching in China far longer than you have, and know far more about the public sector than you do...and by that I mean universities only.

Some schools refuse your demands because there is simply no law stating that they have to be provided, jeeez, and you call me confrontational... besides the apartment with provided furniture and other periphery, it's not the law in China to provide a PC...unless there is a SAFEA regulation stating otherwise, which I sincerely doubt, and which you obviously haven't bothered to check. I agree with almost all of your postings, except this point, and it is a pertinent one.
