Talking in Code: Open source software offers Armenian options in cyberspace
,----[ Quote ]
| These systems are highly useful in Armenia because, unlike
| Microsoft programs which rely on closed software, open source
| enables users to make changes, for example by converting them
| into the Armenian language.
|
| However, they are not in widespread use here and many ordinaryc
| omputer users are not familiar with such software. Instead,
| unlicensed, pirate copies of Microsoft programs are used.
