In Argentina, home of the well-known Nacho-arroyo, the hobby has reached a national newspaper (La Nacion). Needless to say we're very happy to see the Argentinian community to get this kind of exposure! Also, HWBOT was happy to see being mentioned as "entidad que agrupa a todos los overclockers del mundo".
