They usually just use Comitan as a stop-off point to obtain a Guatemalan visa or to take a colectivo to the Lagunas de Montebello, 52 km away. Thus, my being here has become known throughout town. People are curious as to what brought me to Comitan and want to know about life in the United States and try out the few English words they have learned...

When I used the original discs on a similar machine at work, it took less than five minutes. Why? It turns out that CD-RW discs use a less reflective material than CD-R discs, which makes them harder to read on older drives. Indeed, if your CD-ROM drive is more than a year old, it may not be able...
