Article-I.D.: tekcad.343 Posted: Fri Jan 28 13:43:22 1983 Received: Sun Jan 30 01:24:28 1983 Remember the old Kelly Freas poster captioned: Er...Suppose Isabella had said ... No? This is used as a support of a government funded space program. But suppose Isabella HAD said no, and instead the spanish crown sent their surplus soldiers south to Africa, chasing the Moors? The first modern visitor to America would have likely been John Cabot of England, and a great deal more of the American continent might have been settled by the British, French, and Dutch. Anglo-chauvinist that I am, the British system be an improvement over the feudal system presently existing in Central and South America. Anyone care to speculate about the alternate course of history? Keith Lofstrom uucp: {ucbvax,decvax,chico,pur-ee,cbosg,ihnss}!teklabs!tekcad!keithl CSnet: keithl@tek ARPAnet:keithl.tek@rand-relay
