[Wikimania-l] Computer shop in Buenos Aires

[Aude]

Please tell me where.

I normally bring only carry on bags but checked one this time.  Big  
mistake.  My bag is missing and supposed to come tomorrow on American  
Airlines one flight (each day) from Miami.

Anyway, my adaptors might not be the right kind for here
