Let us know how it works.  It's a lot cheaper than paying Adobe for the
PDF printer driver.

I'm an American, married to a Filipina.  I don't really speak Tagalog
(although I know a lot of words like "maganda", "malapit", etc.).
And I've been to the Philippines.  I learned a lot of good
Tagalog the first visit, like "Mura na, Pilipino pa" and "Atin ang
langhap sarap".  We also get abs-cbn via satellite, so most of the tv
and news that I watch is the typical Filipino stuff.  I have a really
bad Tagalog-English dictionary that I bought at South Mall for P41, so I
can look stuff up (if the wife isn't around).  I also bought a P65
"Conversational Tagalog" book there, but it's about the equivalent of
learning how to program by viewing a binary executable in emacs.

We're coming over next month, and I wanted to get a view of the Linux
scene there so I subscribed to the list to watch, but I always end up
answering questions.  I have realized that a list like this is a really
good place for me to get exposure to some written Tagalog

Anyway, my in-laws live in Las Pinas, and that's where I'll be in four
weeks.  It would be nice to get together with some Linux users if I get
some time.

If you read slashdot, you may already know me.  Read here for more info:
