I was watching the NBC Nightly News and saw the story about the historic
elections in Poland.  I was particularly interested in the part where
they showed Solidarity leaders computing numbers on what looked like
a PC style box.

I'm really curious as to the state of the art in personal computers in
the Eastern bloc (I've read about them in Russia) and how prevelant
they are in the "average" home.  Anybody that can answer this one for
me?
