I live in Leominster right off of Rt 2. I guess the next question is, what kind of tutoring would it be? On 6/21/06, Chuck Noyes <vze284qe(a)verizon.net> wrote: > > I'm just down the street from you.

Mobile Phone

by mlong＠datalong.com

I am currently looking to purchase a mobile phone where I can edit open office documents, sync with my linux desktop, connect to the internet, create an access point and of course make phone calls. Has anyone had any experience with the linux based devices that are currently available or am I better off looking at some of the other os's. Thanks, Mike

If it does not, please let me know and I'll investigate. I believe that the Night Life program in Worcester offers a class in Linux, taught by a WLUG member. However, I don't know what Night Life's policy is regarding a student's age. In addition, The Town of Chelmsford has a Community Education program which offers Linux classes (taught by another WLUG member), but that's probably too far away for you.
