Popis: | The Polish economic transformation of the 1990s created an appetite for software that was only partially satisfied by piracy. This market was yet to be taken seriously by Western companies, so local developers stepped up to fill the void. They translated obscure foreign applications, created weird character encoding standards, and built complex business software from scratch, shaping the local IT market for years to come. |
