boinky 0 #1 August 17, 2005 Can you help me? Other than Alta Vista Babel Fish, what other free online translators are there? I'll be moving to Texas soon and I think I need a crash course in Spanish. Like every other young adult, I took a small amount in high school, but remember very little of it. I don't expect to be fluent, but just want to be able to understand/be understood in basic stuff.Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

RevJim 0 #7 August 17, 2005 I'm trying to find it listed somewhere. I picked mine up in a truckstop when I was driving. (In fact, it was at the I80 truckstop in Walcott, Iowa.)
