In honor to J.L. Borges


The Aleph and Other Stories (Spanish: El Aleph, 1949) is a book of short stories by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. The title work, "The Aleph", describes a point in space that contains all other spaces at once. The work also presents the idea of infinite time.

Borges writes in the original afterword, dated May 3, 1949 (Buenos Aires), that most of the stories belong to the genre of fantasy, mentioning themes such as identity and immortality. 

Borges added four new stories to the collection in the 1952 edition, for which he provided a brief postscript to the afterword. The story "La intrusa" (The Intruder) was first printed in the third edition of El Aleph (1966) and was later included in the collection El informe de Brodie (1970).[1]

The warranty of BOSE is a SCAM !!!  On August 5.  1999 I bought some BOSE brand headphones, Model Bose 774373-0010 SoundSport Free. The price was 268 US Dollars After a year the battery life was reduced to 48 minutes. After asking about a battery replacement with a local supplier, I was informed that Bose DOES NOT sell spare parts to third parties. My contacts informed me that they do this to force you to do the repair with them but it was NOT recommended. Because?  Because Bose has a very bad reputation for its customer service and even asks you for more money and in the end you end up paying a higher price than your first purchase, that is, you pay double. I kept the headphones for a couple of years and finally in 2023 I decided to test if this bad reputation of Bose was true. The BOSE bad reputation is true. On September 14, 2023 I received an email to start the "Change" process. In this process they asked me to send them my old headphones and make a payment of 166 US Dol
