SS>> is just too uncomfortable (change reading-dir every second word ?). The
SS>> problem is that we won't get an most-hebrew op system (like win98
SS>> localized) with Linux soon, so even the best hebrew manual won't help much

Moreover, I imagine how much work is to bring hebrew localization to any
program. Usual gettext/catman/locale things won't work, I fear - or the
result would be awful. I have yet to see one clean implementation of
Hebrew localisation (win9x is *evil*, basic principle of it's localistaion
is "whatever isn't ACSII7 - it's hebrew" - which cripples other languages
very badly).

SS>> program output ? I see this all the time at customers with
SS>> secretaries/workers/bosses who don't know english and can't understand
SS>> even the most clear & obvious error messages on the screen (like "Disk
SS>> full, Abort, Retry, Fail" etc.). 

I seriously doubt that these people need Linux now or will need it in
a near future, at least in this list's depth. 

SS>> I also just discovered that my VT320 displays the hebrew mail fine, except
SS>> that line-breaks are wrong like in Netscape (beginning in line below the
SS>> rest). Is this a typical (and unavoidable) visual-hebrew thing ? I am
SS>> using pine 3.96 (non-hebrew).

This is typical and unavoidable lack of thought on the sender's side -
he thinks that everyone use his mailer and his linewidth, ignoring
accepted standards altogether.

SS>> have competence. I'd add education and demand a computer's user license
SS>> (just like drivers license) with different levels of proficiency. Would

That's my wet dream - computer licenses ;) I'd get money for training, and
tell people horror stories about Computer Department of Misrad HaRishuy.
