Money for murder, get out jail $

Here's a fictional but credible piece I ran here 4 years ago. Many Nomads know crimes against people and property are often punished by jail or cash based on a minimum wage formula for a hypothetical working stiff in Distrito Federal in Mexico City.

Jorge, this is another file that I can't view since I upgraded to windows 10. Windows wants me to buy the correct version, or enter a product code that I have no idea how to find.

Thanks for posting anyway!

Look up OpenOffice.org and never use windows suite software again.

114400 pesos. What was the exchange rate back then? :light:

114,400 pesos was about 11,440 dollars +/- 10%

I use LibreOffice, which like OpenOffice is free software that will open Word documents as well as saving them. In this case I opened up the original and saved it as a "docx" file, which is attached. Hopefully it will work for you.

Thanks Pablo. Ancient writer, ancient computer and matching software. I have some old stories in here somewhere that are in cuneiform.
