***LAST OF THE COMPUTERS TO TRANSPORT**** Happy Thanksgiving and Many Many Thank Yous to the wonderful friends and families that have helped the elementary school by transporting and donating computers for the children!!
     We have a couple of units left to transport from San Diego to Los Barriles. So if you're headed this way - PLEASE - do a great holiday deed and bring down a computer or two. You can help a child or two simply by hopping off the 5 for a minute or two and getting right back on with a computer..:-))
     Also, if anyone still has any laptops, computers parts, monitors, printers, ANYTHING that you're not using and letting it gather dust...why not donate it and let our kids put it to use? Call or email Janel and David at janelinmex@yahoo.com  or 310-592-0139 (US cell) or 624-175-9102 (MX cell) Happy Thanksgiving!!
==================================

     The Roku Box is my favorite TV add-on device in the US. We watch Netflix and Amazon prime movies on the box. Basically it's a little computer that receives internet programming for display on your TV through HDMI, Component, etc connections. The type of connections may vary from model to model of the Roku. The older models are designed for older TV's. The Roku Box acquires the internet signal either through Ethernet or Wifi connections. The new boxes are very fast and can display near high def - the display resolution will depend on the available bandwidth from your Internet Service Provider. In addition to Netflix and Amazon, there are a large number of other channels available including stuff for the "Computer Geek" in the family.
     Well, that was the good news. I brought a spare set to Mexico with great expectations! I just finished the set-up and No Netflix, no Amazon, no Pandora!!! It will provide the internet version of Fox News, NBC Nightly News and the Sail Channel. So, back to the States it will go.
     If you have any computer or tech questions, email: thecomputerguy@usa.com

Hi folks, I received this today. I don't know anything about astronomy but I know that my friend Mike Hubbard is into some cool stuff. For example, he is the official Google guy for mapping on Baja California Sur. So check it out. RoadRunner Bob.                                                                                                           Hi Bob,
Do you have a telescope? Do you know anyone else that does?
Mexico is trying to set the world record (again) for the most telescopes, assembled at one time, looking at the moon on dec 3rd. the nearest 'certified' location is La Paz and we need about 15 telescopes to try to set up a 'certified' location in Los Cabos.
This is for the Guinness World Record. Mexico set the record in '09. All of Mexico is participating. Here's the website:  www.nochedeestrellas.org.mx
