Satellite Email via GPS?
mtm_king asks: "Has anyone had any experience with Magellan GSC 100 Satellite Communicator? It is a GPS that does email. (Their web site pricing and info is out of date.) The GSC costs $850 unit, $130 for case and antenna, another $50 in sign up fees, then it is $30 a month for the service. My parents live full time in Mexico (outside of Todo Santos, cool place) and just have a cell phone which is expensive and flaky ($1.00 a minute+ from the US) . Trying to communicating with them is really frustrating. I am thinking about buying one of these units for them,but it is getting close to some 'serious money' considering I do not know how well it works. I know I could try to get their PC on the internet through the cell phone but considering that they have to stand by a window or go outside to use it, and the cost of an ISP and more minutes on the cell phone...well, I am looking for cheaper/more reliable alternatives than that." Would the GSC really work better in this case than using the cell phone modem?
GO see Y Tu Mamá Tambièn and see what these thugs and pals of Vicente Fox do, they OPRESS THE PEOPLE. The rich kid in this film shows you for who you are, while you oppress us in the country side with your M16 carrying police who brow beat and destroy us!
YOU ARE AN OPRESSOR. You live on the sweat and tears of the Mexican people. You think you should get answers from us? How about this, tell you and your rapist parents to double the pay of their slaves from $1 a day to $2. You are a thief and a liar.
Talk about serious money. I'll talk about my long lost cousin, Rosita Conchita Manita Mañero! She died in a hospital for the rich people in Mexico. This doctor wouldn't treat her because she wasn't rich. I remember. I know. I know what you and your bourgeois friends and Vicente Fox want. You want our BLOOD. MEURTE!
We will not be oppressed in heaven, blessed be Jesus, who will send you evil doers all to hell for you RAPE! Your parents RAPE us! RAPISTS!
