    Thanks to those of you who send me opinions, helps as well as share
my ideology on the technology independency of Thailand.  I beleive that
posting information on S&TD is an important activity which someone must
do it.  I am trying to get OSTC to do this job soon.(not sucessful yet) 
In the mean time, I volunteer to do this job.  I hope that I can manage
my time (which I don't have much) through this period.  

    I cut and paste some responses sent to me by people who're going to
be "Real Muscle" of S&TD in Thailand.   Although, this is just the first
round of S&TD, such feedbacks make me feel that our country("Ban Rao")
will have a chance to stand up by itself. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Thanks for your message. I decided to teach at Chula as the first
priority. However, if things are going well, I will spend time with you at
FIBO too.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm more than happy to help you in any way I can. It's  very exciting 
to see FIBO being set up as the first robotic lab in Thailand. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

        I wouldn't mind to have the system restarted from scratch because
it's futile to rescue this buggy, sick monstrous system.  Keep me informed
about your next move, together we can make a difference.................
................ And you make me feel that there are still someone
who is in for a good cause and share my ideology.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, I don't know much about working in Thailand, since I never
worked before. I came here after high school. Anyway, could you please
provide me knowledge about preparing for a job in Mechanical field, such
as what do they need ?.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am very interested in the job that you mentioned.
Could you send me more detail about the offer ?
I may complete my Ph.D by the end of spring 93.
I am not sure whether it is too early to contact them now.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

        I believe I had missed a lot of information you had posted in the
sct newsgroup.  Recently, you said that you would send information to 
anyone who missed them upon request.  So, here I am requesting some.  
I have heard that there will be some--
kind of national center of science and technology to be sited in Rangsit
area.  Amoung them is the genetic engineering center you have posted and I
read it from sct.  How about others?  Had you posted them and I missed or
you haven't?  If it already had been posted, then I missed it.  Would you 
please forward them to me. .......

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

        I'm interested in forming R&D when I go back. Your information
will be a good help for me to convince somebody.

Thanks again,
