Take a trip over to Hilo and you'll find a technology oasis where

business done on modern computers with professional software.
Individually, in project-groups, and via meetups like TechTuesday,
community members are learning and sharing. "Hawaii TechWorks is a
non-governmental, social enterprise organization working in East
Hawaii and surrounding communities." http://www.hawaiitechworks.org/
