My dear friend Barry, you got it wrong. It is not an Internet for dummy travellers book but knowing language differences in what used to be the typewriting machine, now the word processing. Each language, back to the good old days of the typing machines (even the ones in latin languages) are slightly different in the position of the signs and letters. Some letters in spanish do not exit in english and the same with french and german. Anyway enjoy your trip and a good new to share We got a contract from MIT press for the book on wired adolescents in Israel. We both know who referred me to Dough Sery from MIT press :) and it worked. Best Gustavo -- Gustavo S.

On our second honeymoon thru Italy. Do internet cafes isntead of post offices. Realize that traditional Berlitz phrasebook is not adequate. We need an internet for dummy travellers book. For example, how do you hit Ctl-Alt-Del in Italy? The answer is Ctrl-Alt-Canc. Where is the bloody question mark. Oh, next to the zero key, and right above the apostrophe' that I havent been able to find. And most important, where is the at key: @ There it is, but how do I hit it. A few nice people suggest Alt Gr with the key.
Etc, etc.
