TelsZ4 Posted February 11, 2017 Report Share Posted February 11, 2017 Why not use a local Mexican computer expert.. Help out the local Mexican business people. Instead of padding the pensions of the local gringos.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that all of us living here should try and support the local Mexican business people. I'm sure there are qualified Mexican computer techs in the area who would want the business. There have been many posts on this board about the roads trash pick up and general lack of services, if we don't support the Mexican tax paying business's how can we expect things to improve. i have my doubts if any of gringos offering their services pay taxes ...

Do you seriously believe that the reason we aren't getting the best of services is due to the lack of pesos in the coffers of local Mexican business people as opposed to the pesos in the coffers of the politicians who authorize the work and pay the workers to do it? Have you noticed the "civic improvements" in Chapala lately, like the island and the Chapala center roadway newest decor? And ....what inside information do you have re "gringos" paying their taxes? Some of those "gringos" are Mexican citizens, btw. Every property owner, regardless of status, pays taxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His English is perfect and he does house calls and on occasion has done so for me on a Saturday. Cell # 331-064-8578. Office in Ajijic 766-0124.

And that is why there is a lack of service..? The point of my post was not about politicians or corruption or home owners who pay taxes.

So far I have always been able to fix my own computer but if the day comes when I can't I will use Beno as I have heard he is very good and his prices are very fair..

CHILLIN Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 I also thumbs up for Adrian (Ned Small deposits in his diaper! Adrian was trying to keep Ned's Windows XP box running). His brother is a whiz with home security. Adrian speaks linux and home small networks too. Nothing against Mike - I'm sure he has earned his chops. Adrian goes into Guadalajara once a week to get good buys on computer parts - if they are available in Mexico. He now lives in Las Brisas - if that is of any importance.

TelsZ4 Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 It's great to see at least some of us supporting legal tax paying local business people, rather than illegal non tax paying gringos who troll this board looking for business ..

I think what you just accused Mike of has a number of names, which could include "slander". It includes "illegal" and "non tax paying". You KNOW this? At the least, it's snarky, personal and not supposed to be on this board. 22 minutes ago, DeborahM said: SERIOUSLY!? Just stop. Mike doesn't "troll this board." He doesn't need to.
