First of all, thanks, that is helpful.

In fact I am Norwegian, but live here for about a year now - I'll never 
go back to Europe to live there - here everything is set back 30-40 
years (country-side, not Buenos Aires), and I just love the easy way of 
living after 30 years with IT-stress in Middle-Europe. And learn some 
Spanish on the way :)  Now I have time to program what I want, not to 
make compromises because of lack of time. I figure, I will use another 
year to make my apps, some free, some commercial. Gambas is a perfect 
front-end for MySQL, the speed is amazing, processing tables as fast as 
if they were local variables in VB. I experimented a little with 
Netbeans, but gave up - that is another world; too complicated for my 
needs. Starting with Linux I still had the thought of making software 
for more platforms; meanwhile I just don't want to see Windows anymore - 
ignore it as none-existent :)

I looked at the link you sent me - well - it really exceeds my budget a 
little, because the price of a MB is pretty high; 5,25 $ for one MB, if 
I got it right. I have 128kbs here (was used to 16mbits in Europe), can 
double it (if I am able to catch the guy installing this, his nickname 
is Lento (Slow)). Somehow one learn patience living in Argentina....
