FYI: Cubans have a good tech infrastructure and in fact they develop some very interesting "intermediate technology" solutions. We get from them some biomedical devices, included one for chirurgical treatment of Parkinon desease, that cost 1/5th of comparable American or European ones. One argentine engineer, Livio Porta, (80 years old and still working at full speed!!) perhaps the most kown steam locomotives designer, is working with cubans in the conversion of old locomotives to burn biomass.(sugar cane bagasse) A yesterday mail from John Davies lo the stoves list just mentioned him. (you can get more info at: http://www.trainweb.org/tusp/porta.html ) I am sure that working with cubans will be a very enriching experience and they are very nice people.
