In the Big Island Links section, the Hawaii Innovation Center link is not working.

Hi all, I joined this community in hopes that I can meet others who enjoy the same passions that I do in regards to software and internet technologies. I can't tell if I am in the right group, so let me know if I got it wrong. I am a remote worker in South Kohala with a focus on web development technologies.

i find it funny that i get 7 meg DSL here, yet in a brand new neighborhood in ewa beach, 3 meg was the best i could get.

Bill, perhaps a number of us could get together and start building PC's on the BI. There seem to be a lot of tech shops, at least three-four that deal with repairs, but none that exclusively build machines and sell them.

My coworkers are all computer science professors. There are a good handful of them. The observatories employ a gaggle of Java, C, .NET, etc. coders, as well as web designers. There are a surprising number of Net cafes in both Hilo and a couple in Kona. Some of them custom build computers for people, amazingly enough.

There are more then two techs, but depends on how many actually use TechHui. My best guess is most are either in Hilo U, running small businesses on their own (hand up), or Kona-side running Net cafes for the tourists there.
