Hebrew has nothing to do with newbies, but in my opinion newbies will prefer
to use hebrew. I dont mean all of you people that are interested in computers,
I talk about regular people who use computers as a tool (document processing
and a like...).
And gnubies-il as much as I know should be newbies-friendly and most people
consider friendly also by using their native language, in our case the holy
language...
What do you think?
