I was more referring to computers built without any american influence at 
all, so no ansi, no ascii, no LTR, probably different keycodes...


I can't give you an answer as I'm not from an asian culture (although I 
studied it a little) and it's hard to answer anyway since I'm heavily 
influenced by american computers. I'd really need a few years studying 
those cultures heavily to be able to describe a possible tendency.

I can imagine though to look at early russian (and maybe even chinese, if 
there is) space technology. I know that the russian tech was very 
isolated compared to modern technology.
