Hey y'all :) So there seems to be a swarm of mosquitos that has taken over the city - or at least my home :( Is it worse than any year in memory, by far (as I suspect) -- or is my memory getting bad and it's typical? Question: anyone have any creative ideas in how to eliminate them???? The...

+1 for the Rich One. If a client drops off an ancient, extra computer to get fixed, and then just never picks it up -- it's not the fault of the repair guys. I (and my employees) have given dozens of computers to Ricardo over the years to fix, and he's always been great, and I would vouch 100%...

I agree with gracielle. Ricardo is 1000% trustworthy, he repaired my and my employee's hardware many times without a hitch. Repeating hearsay is very dishonest. Furthermore: Josh. He once came to repair my comp (before I discovered Ricardo). Very very sweet guy - super liked him. But he...

WineGuy999, Please re-read the original message and the thread. The question isn't about the prices being different -- but about the MAGNITUDE of difference, between online vs offline. 5% vs 70% WineGuy, I will bet you a beer (or wine?) at a bar of your choice in BA that Target USA does not...

Random and unimportant question, everyone! I went to buy a new garbage pail. I found one in ML, for 1400 pesos, and they said it can be picked up at a sucursal a few blocks from my house. So I decided to walk over and see it in person, before buying. I did and in the store, it was listed as...

+1 Ricardo!

Hey y'all :) Quick question, basically just the subject of the thread: Anyone know a US Notary & Apostille in BA, other than in the US embassy? :) Thanks! morgan

Great spot!!!!

Glasgow John, Really? Wow!!!!! I hope you're right because if so -- even if it has a marginally higher success rate -- I'm calling technical support only in the evenings! That was great advice. Thank you, John! Morgan

Did Tres Picos come? ;)

EJ Larson, That would definitely be a wiser move than asking random Internet folks on BAExpats. You are both smarter than I am and more practical than I am :) It was silly of me to ask here rather than ask Fibertel directly!! BTW, an interesting characteristic of Argie customer support is the...

Gracielle, My overwhelming experience with Argie big company (and government) bureaucracies such as Fibertel, Movistar, etc, is that any customer support request that isn't one of the 3 most common questions they get -- will result in a "no." Sometimes a direct and explicit "no"; but sometimes...

Silvie, Thanks for your feedback! I'm asking a different question. I know I can get another modem from fibertel; but I'm wondering about using an outside, non-Fibertel modem. Not all modems are created equal; some are more equal than others. Two legs good, four legs bad! Morgan

Thank you for saying thank you ;)

Hey everyone :) Pregunta! I want to get a new cable modem for my internet service with Fibertel. Reading about different cable modems (in the USA), they consistently say that once you get a new cable modem, you have to contact your ISP and get them to change a configuration on their side so you...

Tres Picos, You seem to have a strong commitment to not believing the 100% of users is BAExpats are telling you, in our constant asserting that inflation is substantially higher than the USD:ARS ratio shows. I don't understand why you just don't want to believe people in the ground? Are we all...

Tres Picos, "As I posted in reply to Morgan, the ARS devalued about 23% in 2016 so I do not understand why people are saying it didn't budge." ARS to USD: 23% fall during 2016. Peso-denominated Inflation in the real-life cost of living for people living in Argentina for something, based on...

I'm actually curious about why you found Bahia Blanca depressing. I once spent a few days there and had a lovely time. Of course, it's easy for a tourist to love a place...

Tres Pico wrote, "Do exchange rates between currencies on average track the inflation in their respective countries?" When there is no government interference, they do. Here there is massive government interference on the official and formerly the blue. Example: last 12 months. Inflation at...

Tres Picos, Thanks for saying thanks to Serafina in your last post. A little kindness goes a long way! I'd advocate thanking everyone more often ;) I looked at the printscreen of the numbers and my first comment is: you divided by 16 to get the rate. But in the real-world, any...
