This is a brief users guide to
A.M. Costa Rica.
Old pages
Each day someone complains via e-mail that the
news pages are from yesterday or the day before.
A.M. Costa Rica staffers check every page and
every link when the newspaper is made available at
2 a.m. each week day.
So the problem is with the browser in each
reader's computer. Particularly when the
connection with the server is slow, a computer
will look to the latest page in its internal
memory and serve up that page.
Readers should refresh the page and, if necessary,
dump the cache of their computer, if this problem
persists. Readers in Costa Rica have this problem
frequently because the local Internet provider has
continual problems.
Newspages
A typical edition will consist of a front page and
six other news pages. Each of these pages can be
reached by links near the bottom of the pages.
Classifieds
Classified pages are updated daily. Employment
listings are free, as are listings for
accommodations wanted, articles for sale and
articles wanted. The
tourism
