Annette, I heard Fiona complaining about this year's non-stopping rain, as she passed our home :-)
I just mentioned youngsters, because they find it easier to pick up tech concepts. What I had in mind was building more techie skills in Saligao. Of course, user-level skills are needed too. We should think something about that. Recently, the importance of that was only underlined when Natha Umbrascar (my neighbour) was keen to find out about where paddy-threshing machines were available for sale in India. We found some outlet in Madurai, which imports these from Japan. (Finally, one was brought to the village, thus automating agri operations somewhat. But it was found to be a bit too heavy for the fields with softer mud. Such solutions could make a huge difference to how people live here.) As for transferring photos, it's very easy. Just connect your camera to your computer (USB) with the cable. You will find the camera attached, like a pen drive does, to the computer. Copy-and-paste all the JPG images onto your hard disk. Remove the camera (using the proper, safety procedure). Add the USB drive, and copy to it.
