Computer

Filed under: — Andy @ 12:52 am

Japanese people like to upgrade their electronics a lot. Some people get new cell phones every 6 months, a new TV every few years, and so on. So what happens to the old electronics? They end up on the curb. I picked up a completely working and fairly decent computer. All the components, except a hard drive, are still in the computer and seem to be working fine.
Although my laptop is still working, it is now old and slow. If I buy a new hard drive for the desktop I picked up (cheap) then I would have a working and faster computer to play with. Then all I need to do is wait for someone to throw away a monitor…

The oldest temple in Kamakura

Hōkokuji 報国寺
Famous for the bamboo.

Photo Gallery

Ya… I could just put my photos on Facebook like most people are doing now, but where is the challenge in that?
