its nice to hear that. i envy gabaldon because it is still on a much better ground than our little barrio in talavera wherein i dont think i knew anybody having a computer. my mom who is a teacher at the local elementary school still does her report on her trusty typewriter[1]. :( > A little out of topic, our little town as backward as it is have a growing > linux community, mostly newbies but steadily growing nonetheless, it is > also safe to say that Gabaldon have the largest concentration of > individuals that use linux at home in the entire Nueva Ecija province.
