Oh...I understand...no problem.

I find it amusing (and somewhat frustrating) that some folks still just
don't get it that not every ISP in the world provides all the bells and
whistles they are used to in the US and other developed countries. They
just assume that all ISPs operate the way US ISPs operate with all the
services that US ISPs provide.

They just don't get it that the technology game is all quite new in
underdeveloped countries. Heck....not that I'm a big McIntaosh fan
....but you couldn't even buy a Mac here until this year...and there are
still no places for repair of Macs - they need to be sent out of
country for repair. One of the teachers has a Mac and it crapped out.
he had to wait until he went back to the US to have it repaired. My
Toshiba laptop needed repair..and I had to send it with a friend who
lives in Tegucigalpa two weeks ago...there are no computer places in
town to repair ANY computers. I should get it back this weekend. I
cannot buy software in-country. I have to wait for trips back to the US
or have a family buy it for me and send it to me. i'm probably going
back to the US again in march for a teachers workshop..so that will be
another software buying expedition. I did that in June when I went to a
workshop in Alabama - brought back more software and other supplies. I
buoght a new prionter here because I cannot get the ink for the printer
I own in country. By the time I have freinds send it, the cost is
double the original purchase price!
