Here's a cute story about a 9-year-old violist who's been winning hearts at a busker festival in Australia all to earn enough cash to buy herself a Playstation. Carissa Lynch, of Kootingal, hit Tamworth's buskers alley on Friday, earning $149 by Saturday afternoon. By Monday she had earned about $350. It sounds like she might be able to upgrade her goal from a Playstation ("I can get one on special for $150" she said, looking very obviously pleased) to a Playstation 3.  What an absolutely amazing feat! Full story here if anyone's interested  |

Great I tried to get my husband to do it but he never has time.
I am originally from South Africa but spent age 13 -27 in Brisvegas mostly in The Gap.
Where are you living now?
Wow I haven't looked at this thread in a long time, I'm so sorry! I somehow missed your reply, but better late than never, ne I'm living in Hong Kong now, it's so different to Australia I'm sorry to hear about what happened to the Gap earlier this year, hope you guys didn't get affected! Cheers, shuki |

If you're definitely going for a laptop, I'm a big big fan of HP! But it's always good to remember that a desktop PC with the same specs as a laptop will always be cheaper For personal spec recommendations - - at least 3 GB ram (because Windows Vista uses 1.3GB ram by itself) - at least Intel Core 2 Duo (because technology is ever speeding up, and this should keep you going for a few years without falling too far behind) - a good video card (Nvidia GeForce 8-series or late 7-series are around mid-range now) Those will be more than enough for word processing, Little Reader, PowerPoint, storing pictures and surfing the net all at once.  Then you can optionally upgrade with spiffy features such as higher-end graphics cards, wireless capability, bluetooth, blu-ray... the list goes on Good luck shopping for your new computer! It can be tough, but in the long run, having a smooth, responsive experience is worth it. |
