Have basically learned to be selfsufficient as decent apple support is rare in Mexico. What is the nearest cross street? Puebla runs all the way from the circuito to Cuauhtemoc.
There is one stand for used mac stuff in the plaza del computo downtown between El Salvador & Uruguay next to Eje Central. (The plaza is a great source for components, cables, mobo's and stuff.) Also a dusty mac store on Uruguay separate from the plaza. Have had mixed experience at Compudabo. >> Its been a couple of years....but it was near the Metro station at Insurgentes....maybe at the intersection of Puebla and Monterrey?? I used a small hotel, the Segovia, right across the street from Amberes in the ZR. The Mac shop was only a few blocks away. It might have been on Sinaloa instead of Puebla....there was a good Argentine steak restaurant nearby, IIRC and think it was on Puebla at Oaxcaca. Other than those guys, the Mac scene in Mexico is rather dead. There was a store off the Periferico in Naucalpan, but it closed some years ago...probably 1998/9. Spend most of my time in Puebla and Jalisco now....at least I get good tequila! (mmm...Cazadores!) Small side comment....was waiting for a US customer staying at the Geneve...an American came up to me and asked if I spoke English (I'm 6'3", and about as Scots-Irish as they come). After assuring him that I did, he asked if I knew where this particular town was..said the hotel guys kept laughing at him. He asked, "where is "Ox-Caca?" After picking myself up off the floor, I explained to the guy that it was "Oaxaca," pronounced "hua-haka." The local guys had quite a laugh off that. (for non-Spanish speakers, "caca" is what makes good fertilizer...which makes "ox-caca"...ummm, you know) Andrew ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
