sonicboom: are laptops there inexpensive?
nightdreamer: oh yes.

nightdreamer: pretty much 30% off from Phil’s price.
sonicboom: because I want to buy one this december
sonicboom: but i’m thinking where, dubai or taiwan or us
nightdreamer: yeah, tough choice
nightdreamer: the disadvantage for taiwan’s is,
nightdreamer: sometimes
nightdreamer: the laptops they sell are installed with Chinese windows
sonicboom: how about the keyboard? Are there chinese characters?
nightdreamer: so you may not understand it
sonicboom: @_@
nightdreamer: well, the chinese characters are there, but it’s all right since the English characters are also there

nightdreamer: but with windows that’s another story.
nightdreamer: it’s ok if you’re using mac, because you can switch languages anytime.

nightdreamer: but if it’s windows, you have to do a lot of adjusting

sonicboom: but I don’t want the Chinese characters crammed at the keyboard

nightdreamer: eh, i don’t even look at keyboards anymore when i type
nightdreamer: OH DEAR I’M BRAGGING! :) )
sonicboom: what a bragger!
nightdreamer: =))
sonicboom: i’m talking aesthetics man
nightdreamer: eh, then just obscure the Chinese chars with a black paint! ^_^
sonicboom: hahaha
sonicboom: scrape it off!
nightdreamer: or if it’s a white keyboard, use liquid correction pen!
sonicboom: actually it’s the same when I buy in the middle east
sonicboom: there may be hieroglyphics
nightdreamer: and if you press certain combinations, something might detonate! nightdreamer: nah, kidding.
