ComputerGuy Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Two weeks old, Michael, and I for one would like some discussion--at least-- when posting a link to a headline. We already get tons of news every day, and could post them all here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know enough about the local gvt , etc to say that when I read it would take days to transfer 26gig to another system I scratched my head. Again, my apologies to you and the other members of this board. The administrator can take this down. Thought I was trying to be helpful. Apparently not.

There is no rule that I know of about posting just a link but it is not appreciated by some of us. I can't actually verbalize why it annoys me, but it does. Maybe it just seems polite to offer something of your own thoughts before asking others for theirs. Also keep in mind that it is the beginning of June when many more of us are cranky and on edge from the heat. We'll all feel better once it rains.

michael2595 Posted June 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 To the administrator please take down my post. !!!!! I seem to be offending people. Was not my intention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 No offense taken. Just offering some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I also did not mean to offend you. Thought explaining it would help. The word annoying seems to mean a lot more to you than it does to me. I truly am sorry if I offended you. That was not my intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I think we all have learned from this. I know I was afraid to left click on a link that I do not know. It could have been one of those links one could go that would ask for more information and then freeze or lock your important files. We all learn from our or the mistakes of others. No big deal, now that I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I too would like to see some discussion on the rediculous claim made by Chapala. Claiming a value of over $1 Million $US for a website that isn't complete? (edited to remove blatant political comment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moderator-2 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 OP, it is fine but next time add a little comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we'll be able to post pictures of the trashy streets and piles of uncollected garbage on that website. Probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazydog Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 1.5 million dollars to transfer 26GB ?... Is that what they are proud of? It's nice to have everything automated so you can pay things online (that's if they manage to train their staff to use a simple software which they probably will need 5 people to do the job of one data entry person in the west), but 1.5 million dollars could have gone a long way fixing more immediate problems like maybe picking up the grabage they have piled up on the streets, or maybe fixing some of those "beautiful" roads.

The point is moot since the site isn't really operational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article said it was valued at $1.5 M but was provided at no cost to the local government. I've got way more than 26GB of data on my laptop! I can't imagine a website in Mexico costing more that 1 million pesos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addtocart Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 1.5 million US dollars to build a website. Either there is a domain manager off on a European vacation or the money was stolen outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Saltos Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 How they came up with "valued at" is a mystery. Never the less, it cost Chapala nothing. Which, given it's state of usability is about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
