To the best of my limited knowledge of Spanish (only acquired because the neighborhood I live in is predominantly so), 'ferreteria' means 'hardware', like nuts and bolts-type hardware, not computer hardware. I think it is derived from the Latin 'ferr(ous)' for iron, and since lots of hardware is metal...so on, so on. Did that make sense? So essentially, a ferreteria is a hardware store. Though I like the idea of a cafeteria for ferrets, too. :) daoine o', aka the ferret queen Dweezil, Razzle, and Monty missing Sylvi and Loki [Posted in FML issue 3895]
