thanks again, get some worthy informations here :)
btw. prices are not really the problem here, I pay 70 pesos=12€ monthly, the availability is: because of the size of ARG they have very little of cables, everything is wireless. In the village where I live, they have two internet-providers - one of them has a "backbone" with 3 MBs - for about 300 users, so you get crazy trying to download something. This is near the river Parana, which is infamous for its storms (ask a sailor passing La Plata by Montevideo) - and those are periodical taking down the antennas, if the lightning does not do the work, the powersupply is down - just a little adventure living here. People are very friendly and as civilized as in Europe. And the climate is a hit. Enough :) I'll go on with Gambas, looking for how to print, reporting, XML, PDF and so on.
