      Actually, most of what people genericly refer to as "Mexicans" are Guatamalans. They make up an almost equal portion of immagrees in this country. There are others of course, Peruvians, Brazillians, but chances are, youre seeing more guatamalans than youd realize. And by the way, in my town, which has a HUGE latino community, its mostly teenage white boys graffiti'ing up the place. They make the paper all the time getting caught. I am a whitey, but thats not a point of pride, as over all, we are some of the biggest global trouble makers of any.

    they could always follow this tried and tested plan of action:

    1. Make Lindows OS
    2. ??????
    3. PROFIT!

    of course, insert 1.1: bend truth and 1.2: whore free advertising from clueless journalists

    Seems as though they have almost completed steps 1 and 3 already :)
