Tingting

We've used CTS twice and were absolutely satisfied with them. I agree with DC to give them another chance. Maybe try to contact Roberto direct (when he comes to see the job) and just mention what happened. Systems crash, people screw up, etc.

I just wanted to add one last comment. I had another problem (shocker!) and called Felipe since he placed a posting here after my first request for recommendations. I originally asked for him not to be recommended because I had been told that he was no longer working with computers. He's back, and I'm really glad. It's nice to have the expert come to the house rather than having to drop the beast off somewhere and then wait forever. His fees are extremely reasonable, especially for on-site service. I had a strange issue pop up that was causing a lot of heartburn, and he was able to resolve it quickly. He also walked Hubs and me through a couple of questions we had involving connected computers. I would definitely use him again!

I'd like to say it's 99% old age and 1% stupidity on my part, but I think that would be exceptionally kind. Sorry to everyone for the confusion. Yes, you're absolutely correct, Voir dire, it's Laguna Mall. I shall now take my curry and go sit in the corner...if I can find it.

Huerto Cafe...YUMMY!

I like to go to India Curry every so often and get a double butter chicken for dinner and leftovers for the next day. I'm no connoisseur of Indian food (Brit hubs is), but I know what I like. If you have been there and liked it, but haven't been in a while, please consider a return visit. It breaks my heart to see decent restaurants start out strong, keep serving the same level of quality, but traffic trickles away after the "newness" wears off. For me, this place is a keeper, and I'd hate to see it leave because business became slow. If it's not your thing, that's fair and fine, but if you DO like it, please continue supporting them. For me, it's good food at a fair price. Obviously, this may be true of other places. If that's the case, please give them a plug. We get a lot of bad restaurants here, and ones that start out great and then slowly cut corners, so it's important to patronize the good ones. YMMV

Ummmm...and this adds what? I'm honestly not trying to be mean, but my review was based on a visit. Everyone knows that different folks have different tastes/preferences. I'm not a coffee buff, but do like cappos, and liked the atmosphere. Nice people, nice place.

It now is associated with Chapala Med....hmmmm...

Hi Felipe, I've sent you an e-mail.

VICTORY!!! (well, for today) I would still love to have the name of a truly knowledgeable computer tech, but I just wanted to say that I finally got in. Once again, it was by 51% luck and 49% stupidity which did it (YMMV). The basic issue isn't resolved, but at least it is for now. Gotta love being old and a technodino. If any of you also use TOP, please drop me a PM with your experiences on it. Maybe I'm missing something obvious (forest, trees, you know...)

Same here. We have 24 panels and make more than we use, but we still get a bill every 2 months for around $64. Please keep us updated, Maine!

I truly appreciate that all of you are trying to help me, but please read what I've written first. I DO NOT want to use Ruben or Felipe , as mentioned in my original posting. You cannot use a VPN on this site. The security is TIGHT, and it bounces. Firefox indicates that the issue is related to their certificate. Google tells me that since several browsers are all rejected, it's on our side of the connection. I've had this happen in the past, and I ended up getting one computer back up...for a while. The truly sad thing is that I have no idea what I did right to get it back up (technodino). I used it for months, and then this happened again. If you know of a genuine computer expert, please DM the name. Otherwise, a big "Thank you!" I'll try calling the site again. Who knows? Maybe my luck will change, and I'll get someone who will do more than tell me it's my problem....one can dream, right? ETA: just another confirmation that I'm officially old😣

Unfortunately, since it's a gov website, it won't accept a VPN. Online, several websites recommend going into the private mode of the browser, but that didn't work. I even removed my antivirus program. Still, nothing. This is why I'd really appreciate the name of someone truly good with computers. Again, big thanks to you two and anyone else who may respond.

No. I'm actually logged for the newer access (ironically, myaccess), but the problem is once you get into the site, you're not actually there yet. The gov being the gov, likes to put a LOT of steps into place while consolidating several unrelated sites under the same umbrella. Once you've passed the log-in, then verify the code, you go a few more steps and get to a place where you have about 20 sites covered by DS. At that point, I tell it TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP), and that's where it tells me that it's unavailable/ can't be reached/etc (depends on which browser). If you're a user, you'll understand what I'm talking about, if not, it's a bit confusing (sorry). This is a frustrating, often-repeating problem I've had and I need to learn what it is on our side that is causing this to happen.

Aaaargh! I confess. I'm a technodino--I know enough for basic problems, but this one has been driving me around the bend for quite a while. My problem is trying to access the TRICARE Overseas website (heathcare website for military vets). I can get into the general site, but the moment I try to get into the TOP portion (TRICARE Overseas Program), I constantly get "can't reach this site" messages. I've called them directly, but they just say it's on my end. I've cleaned caches, reset, changed networks, changed browsers, but nothing works. Firefox says, "Secure Connection Failed. The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." DIfferent wording, but same result with Edge and Chrome. If you have a name, please DM me (but not the guy near Pancho's or Felipe). Immediate access to TRICARE is really important, and snail mail isn't going to cut it. BIG TIA!

Mostylost, give it up. Your wife wasn't there when ibarra did the license renewal. So, regardless of what she knows of the rules, if ibarra used a constancia, then it happened. You can stick your fingers in your ears and keep repeating that they won't accept it, but I'll take the word of someone who was there over a keyboard warrior. I will say this once more: I said to get a CURP in my first, ORIGINAL posting. I even said, "not a constancia...", so don't try to turn it around simply because I used the word constancia. In my second posting, REPLYING TO OTHERS' INPUTS, I corrected info on when, NOT WHERE, a constancia was valid. I repeated to get a CURP. Again, reading comprehension is a valid tool...I suggest you try it more than once.
