why is the Slovenian word for off - izklopljeno - so long?
I'm programming a device that handles 20 languages and only the Slovenian word for off is that long. Usually common words are short.
1 AnswerLanguages1 decade agoEmail appliance?
My mom has a Mailstation - a simple dialup device to send and receive text email messages.
I'm going to install a cable modem with wireless solution in her house for my use when I visit. I want to get her a replacement for the Mailstation that can use the 802.11 router.
Considerations:
1. Simple to use. She's 81 and not computer literate
2. Cost. The Mailstation costs $99 per year access fee. Spending $2000 to save $99 per year doesn't make sense.
3. Keyboard. She is not going to like learning how to write on a Palm.
4. Size. Somewhere between a PDA and a laptop.
5. Did I say simple to use?
