Beware of counterfeits
Beware of counterfeits.Counterfeit electronics, especially.They can be dissapointing.HenceEdomite not buy from Shenzhen. You could get scammed.For example, three years ago, an American bought what he thought was a Lenovo Thinkpad with Intel Core 2 Duo.When he returned home, he found out that it was much older computer.Although it was an original IBM Thinkpad with an Intel Pentium processor,it was the same as buying a Shanzai PC.

Give the gift of technology!
Is your loved one's birthday near?Wondering what to give to him/her?Let me tell you!
For Him
An old Netbook(if it has been previously used by you, change the hard drive.)
A laptop
A tablet computer
A desktop
For Her
A pink Netbook
A pink laptop
A pink tablet computer or an iPad
Let me tell you about the origins of this post:
I got a HP Mini 5101 and the tablet computer that I used to write this post.As soon as I got it, I wondered what to do. The first few days yielded no ideas. An idea sprang up last night.
I decided to buy a new hard drive, install it onto the Acer, install Xubuntu, and give it to Kai Yi on her birthday.
Well,that's all for today. Bye!
