One more quick pointer: I've finally found the address for Tecanica, the
technical aid project by which programmers, electronics technicians and the
like can contribute their services in war-torn Nicaragua. Volunteers pay
their air fare to and from Managua; room and board are provided in return.
An acquaintance of mine went last year and spent two weeks working for the
National Bank of Nicaragua. He said that people with IBM, micro or hardware
repair experience are most sorely needed, but almost any competent
programmer can make him/herself useful.
The address: Tecanica
110 Brookside Dr.
Berkeley, CA 94705

Oh, yes!!! We'd all love to help those wonderful Sandinistas, wouldn't we!
