    Don't have any hard data to demonstrate, but iTunes downloads are typically much slower for me than torrents or other. That was with a fibertel corporate account.

    My wife (Argentinian) claims you can live "well" on $1500 a month in Argentina. True?

    It was very easy to get US citizenship for my son born here 3 years ago. I found hospital care more personal and relaxed than US. Stay 3 or 4 days, not pushing you out the door after delivery.

    Do you fear a crash similar to 2001?

    It seems the market settled down as no new news came out after yesterday. Was a great morning to catch the short if you were in on Friday. SUPV was down 13% quickly but closed down 6%, so there was actually 7% upside if you timed it right. After the peso fell to an even 40.0, it held there...

    Argentina public schools

    Hi, Ben. We're in a similar situation with an almost 3 year old. He did 1/2 A year at a private school San Lucas in olivos and is returning for 3 year old class on Monday.

    St. Andrew's or Northlands school

    Vanessa Best of luck with the move. Both are pretty equal, top tier schools. From what I can find, there is little to no pubic stats on academic performance, rankings, college acceptance, etc., all the things US schools tend to tout to attract students. Seems to be more of a word of mouth...
