[NLA] It's a small world --

<<there is one good scenario for the persons not owning computers and that is 
the local public library.>>

Many communities in the southwest do not have libraries at all, much less 
libraries with computers and Internet. Communities are many miles apart, 
library systems are minimally funded, and even the larger cities with a 
library have little public transportation. 

Of course, if one looks at the maps showing where the federal dollars for 
technology went, it was not to the smaller, isolated communities along the 
US-Mexico border. What would we do for farmworkers and day laborers if they 
learned how to use computers, went to college, and didn't want to be 
farmworkers or laborers any more? A head of lettuce might cost us $5!
