Really? Have you ever been to Africa, have you ever tried to setup a web agency there or have you ever had a contract from one there? I don't think you ever did. I respect your opinion, but I don't understand your statement. Mind you, the web makes the world a "GLOBAL VILLAGE" and having a web company in Africa at the moment is perhaps more rewarding than having a web company in Europe or in the US (All the dotcoms are down at the moment). The nice thing about here (Africa) is that the field is just empty and has now began to grow as people have found out that there are tons of opportunities in here. This continent is one which is growing and even though it's gonna take a long time, people can make hell of lots of bucks here. By the way, have you heard anything form South Africa?

I also wanted to add this in reference to the "GLOBAL VILLAGE": you can be anywhere in the world and as far as you've got the right skills, you can make money!!!
