Ok… If you know me, you will be perplexed to find this as my current desktop. Yes, people that know me know that I dislike integrated desktop environments. I am a very happy WindowMaker user, have been faithful to WMaker for at least seven years… But anyway, I have found myself recommending Linux to almost-average users… So I decided to force myself to use a computer as they would for a couple of days at least.

Well, what could we do besides printing a sky chart of Mexico at 20:00 (actually, I printed it for 18:30, but was able to infer +- the position of Gemini) and drive to our dear and nearby Ajusco.

Mexpost defines itself as an accelerated courier service. It is part of SEPOMEX, Mexico’s postal service. Traditionally, it has been the cheapest courier service in Mexico.
