Diego Fernando: Mi lengua materna no es el Ingles. Lo aprendi en Mexico a
temprana edad y me ha sido util, por supuesto, durante el tiempo que he
vivido en California (la mitad de mi edad). Con gusto te ayudo a entender
los conceptos y las respuestas/contribuciones que el grupo incluye a
travez del tiempo.
Enviame mensajes electronicos a: M.Maldonado@Fairchildsemi.com, o llamame
al 408-822-2338 de Lunes a Viernes.
Otra persona que te puede ser muy util es Hans Picker, lo localizas en
Colombia por medio de CECinter@latino.net.co, o al 57-1-211-3541. Menciona
mi nombre y veamos que sucede en el futuro.

My conclusion... Well, the automatic translation does give me enough to
understand the msg! I'm impressed. Now back to Miguel's. ...Rick]

Thank you Rick for posting the Altavista URL. I'll try it and give some
feedback about its usefulness. And WHEN (not if) enough people require
Spanish as their besto 'modality' to interact and contribute into LO, I'd
be glad to 'host' and assist in whatever fashion may be required.
