Kamran,

(Remember me?  I asked you a few questions about MPI, shmem Cray,
messages, etc.; thanks for helping me).

As for that Alan idiot...
It is people like that who make it difficult for some (like me)
to express ideas/questions.  Ignore him... But I think you know that...

Now...  On to other topics.
You have my curiosity peaked...

>>cares about your culture and customs. I am an Iranian and live in Iran.

PLEASE!! forgive me for this questions which shows my ignorance...

But...
My american media influenced view of Iran, does not jive with
a person who understands massively parallel computing... (again,
*forgive me*, I am asking because I recognize my ignorance).

Where were you educated?
What are you doing in Iran?
Is there a high-tech center there?
Was is a left-over from the Shah?
Or is the current government promoting it?
Do you have Massively Parallel Systems?
Does your access to internet concern the mullahs?
What are your universities like? Open/closed?

Please inform me...


(and I think the way the us customs agents treated the iranian
wrestling team in Chicago was disgraceful; 
esp. after the way you guys
welcomed our team).

Sincere Regards,
Tom
