Everyone writes and ask.... Which company? What
product do you recommend. I refuse to answer until I believe in a company or
product. My readers are ruthless. They will write some nasty e-mails if I screw
up and say the wrong thing. So here is my laundry list of THINGS used or carried
with me in my 8 plus years of travel. It makes it easy to answer e-mails also because
I just send the link. Hehehe....
I use and would recommend these companies or products.
NOTE: The date is May 5th, 2005, these recommendations become old after SIX
MONTH, please write and ask me to update.
Cleanliness is next to Godliness, Mahatma Ghandi
and a lot of people say this, but when you are in an
underdeveloped country and all they have is cold water showers
you need an industrial strength body cleaner. This one is one
used prior to surgery and I recommend.
NOTE: Skin diseases are one of my biggest
problems, but you will not notice for years.
CAMERA I have changed to the Sony Cybershot and the internet cafes now have USB
ports
WebPages and Amateurs
Hewlett Packard and merged with Compaq
Presario
I have carried a Compaq and now a Hewlett Packard Pavilion in my backpack for 7
plus years. 40
Plus countries. I can get this computer fixed in other countries, and they have
WebPages is support.... aagh. But they will tell you where to get serviced.
Mine had a red reformat disk to completely clean the disk and start over when
you catch a virus or it get out of sync. 110 or 220 is automatic with the new
electronics. I hope it has a lithium battery, because the nickel cadmiums are worthless
batteries. I do not own this, but would buy on the price. I believe that 1000 is
the top price needed to pay for a laptop computer. If you need more than that.
You are a severe techie or want to make movies.
PRIORITY CHECKLIST
1. Approximate price of 1000 U.S. Dollars or less.
2. Have your serial number PUT ON RECEIPT or you will have problems with
warranty work in other countries.
MICROSOFT FRONTPAGE 2003 Dreamweaver is supposed to be good. I have not tried it yet. But the
big feature is that is needed is the ability to make thumbnails. You can also
make animated graphic with the image composer. Plus everyone else can help you
with the program. Because lots of people have this program and that helps a lot
in the learning.
