oh boy oh boy oh boy! my all time favorite, most visited, most beloved and valuable website has a compact version downloadable (a channel from AvantGo) to my Palm! http://www.angloinfo.com is the best English language Riveria information hub site i've found (and honey, i've searched everywhere!). it has been indespensable during the planning stages of…

well, it's official. i'm a convert! much to Miss Dawns delight, i am now once again fully participating in the high tech world.
