I’m on vacation with my parents. They just bought a refurbished IBM ThinkCentre PC, running at 3 GHz. It’s a major improvement compared to their old Packard Bell 233 MHz PC. I’ve been getting it set up and running. They will use OpenOffice for word processing—no need to buy anything in that field anymore. (Slight correction — page numbers are a hastle in OpenOffice.)
I’ve also been celebrating Mass at the local parish here. There are quite a few coming to daily Mass (about 40). It’s encouraging.
