Setting up housekeeping

We are now in total electronic communication. Our studio/TV room rivals the Bat Cave. We have our Star Choice satellite TV and now we have computer central. I got the modem from Prodigy that only hooks up one device since we already had a wireless router. At first I could only get the laptop to work with Prodigy. After a phone call or 3 to Infinitum, I was able to get the desk top computer to also work with the modem. Packet 8 worked fine, too, but the problem was we could use one or another, but not more than that. I tried fiddling with the Linksys router and made no progress.
I got the name of a computer guy from 2 different folks. He came to the house and worked for 2 hours and couldn’t get it to work. He suggested returning to Telmex and exchange our modem for the wireless / multiple port one.
We went to Telmex to talk to Juan Pablo. He told us that we could not exchange the modem, only buy a new one. We explained the problem to him and he gave us the name of another computer guy. Juan Pablo assured us that the guy could help us. So off we went to Bucerias Net to find Omar. Omar came to the house and an hour later we had computer central! Desktop works, Packet 8 works, even the laptop wireless connection works. All that for 150 pesos!
We were happy with Omar’s work and took him over to Patricia and Joann’s house because we knew they were having problems, too. 15 minutes and 50 pesos later their problems were solved.
Once a person enters Mexico for the first time on their new FM3, they have 30 days to register it at the Immigration office closest to their home. We went to the office across from San Javier Hospital to register. We were pleased to find out that the office does have A/C and that there weren’t too many people waiting. We did have to go downstairs to the pharmacy to get copies made of every page of our passports. We now have a receipt for our FM3s and have to return Monday to get them back. Altogether we were there less than an hour. Everyone warned us to get it done in the low season unless we wanted to spend all day there.
We just found out that our trailer full of household goods has cleared customs in Laredo and is on the way to Guadalajara. With any luck, it will get here next week.
