A few more news items and where to find more news about Spain:

24% of Spanish homes have access to the Internet

According to recent official surveys by the National Statistics Institute in December 2002 the number of people with access to the Internet was only 17.4%, but a year later had grown to 24%. By the end of July '03, the number of ADSL lines was 1,343,823 with Madrid and Barcelona way ahead, emphasising the gap between town and country in technological advance. (El Mundo, TVE)

43% of Spanish computer users hit their machine when it fails to work as they would like. Principal problem seems to be the mouse.

Once again we thank our visitors for your interest and concern for Spain. In December the number of visits reached the 2000 level for the second month in a row, despite a considerable and understandable drop in visits over Christmas. January also began slowly, but the record for visits (December) will once again be approached. Thank you!
