As I recall, when I was there in Changi prison, the bedbugs were simply horrific. What we would do, before we were liberated, was to light our metal beds on fire.

So....YES...do NOT buy an Apple machine. Apple is all about CONTROL. So then....you can choose... a. Windows b. Linux NOT.... Apple OS

Yes. Correct. I purchased a monochrome IBM laptop BEFORE Bill Clinton was elected. So....thank you.... Now you know...I was NOT lying. That was a very slow machine. Also, the monochrome display was not good. It ran on IBM-DOS, in fact. Thank you.... OCH

Not sure. You want me to ask my Chinese friend? Anyway, a laptop is useless unless it has a Global Warranty. Even Old China Hams know this to be true.

No. Actually, I have a Chinese friend who purchased a ThinkPad several years ago. At that time, he lived in Thailand. He purchased the ThinkPad in China, and then had it shipped to Thailand. He told me he saved much money. I think he even ordered his ThinkPad with 32GB of RAM, in fact. So then, if you can buy in China and have it shipped to Thailand, and if you can find some way to not pay import duty, then, at least according to him, you can save some money. Personally, I have no need for a computer which is portable. I already have an OLD Acer laptop which I rarely use. Therefore, before buying, you might try contacting a Chinese friend, one who often checks computer pricing in China, and one who can tell you how to save money buying a laptop in China, and also how to ship it, very cheaply, to Thailand. This is why I always say: Not only do I love my Chinese friends...but....also... We Chinese always help each other. This is the way it works in China. An Old China Friend/Old China Ham (lao-peng-you) is a friend for life. There is a huge trade of goods coming in from China, traded by recently arrived Chinese now living in Thailand. Note: I love my Chinese friends. But, sometimes, it's more difficult for me to get close to guys from Scotland, try as I might.....

Bangkok might be stressful, is what you are saying?

Thank you for being more diplomatic, this time around, Sir! And, as you say, Macau is a free state, too! Have you ever been there? All the casinos in Macau are privately owned, too! Once a cadre, always a cadre: One rarely reads such FLATTERY on Wikipedia, unless it is written by the cadres of the Chi-Coms....

No. Not unless I am thinking of the Chinese ThinkPad.

Two virgins. Technical virgins, anyway. I have not seen them where I am. No sinners around here.

It was a very sad affair when IBM sold it's personal computing, including he TinkPad to China! I recall the controversy, as if it were yesterday. Still, if I were to buy a laptop, these days, then I would seriously consider buying a Chinese TinkPad... Or, as I now call it: The StinkPad. Any phones or laptops or routers coming out of China are just.... STINKY! Huawei is stinky, for example. So, I would say, the StinkPad might not be among my first choice, these days. At least, not until Xi steps down.

Yes. You are CORRECT, once more! Savour thou victory, while ye may!

YES! I am a liar! I lied about the date that Bill Clinton was elected. Anyway, concerning the ThinkPad..... As I recall it, the ThinkPad was supplied with several spare red rubber covers for the IBM keyboard klitoris. Do you remember? Those rubber clitoris covers would wear out quickly if one did too much fingering. Do you remember?

Yes. I was just about to contact you to admit that it was 1992. Clinton was elected in 1992, NOT 1990. I purchased my first IBM laptop just before Clinton was elected president. My apologies to you, Sir!

I ain't lying, Babe! Here is my machine I purchased in 1990. Hope you enjoy the photo! Or, it looks like it, anyway. As I told you... 1990, IBM, I had it on my lap onboard the NorthWest Airline taking me to Taiwan.

No worries. I have already admitted that I was mistaken in the date. If you would just pay more attention to my posts, then... You would have noticed my retraction. I should have known better than to question someone from Scotland. And now....I have... Egg on my face. Enjoy it while it lasts...Sir!

I was wrong! I did buy an IBM laptop, monochrome display, in 1990. BUT, it did not have the red clitoris in the middle of the keyboard. After a couple of years, while in HK, I upgraded to the TinkPad, with clitoris. And, at that time, I was running OS/2

As I stated... You are INCORRECT!, Sir! I know what I bought in 1990. I bought a ThinkPad. It had a red clitoris for a pointer. My memory of this is SOLID, Sir. 1990 was the date that I left the USA...for the last time. I would bet you any amount of money on this. You, Sir, are relying on what you read on the fing internet. I am relying on sales receipts, Sir! But, as everyone here knows.... Scots like you never give in. Or, maybe you are not from Scotland, either? IBM calls this the pointing stick, maybe... But, I call this the IBM clitoris. I had one before 1992, or...I thought I did. Perhaps, now that I recall it, I bought my first IBM laptop in 1990 without the clitoris. And then upgraded to an IBM laptop, with color monitor, WITH the clitoris. I will need to check my records. Also, I believe that I am mistaken, here. So, I apologize to you, Sir! (I purchased an IBM monochrome display laptop in 1990, just before leaving the USA. However, I do agree that it did not have a clitoris attached to it. So, then, I am wrong. You are right, as usual.)

Flied Lice, did you say?

Voltaire was not a nice man, and was anti-Semitic, as well. But, this never stopped me from loving Candide.

Yes. Of course I understand. I will use the black Hefty trash bags to stuff my stuff, and then let the bags cook in the sun, with an internal temp of over 50 degrees C, to kill the sabies. Of course I understand what you were driving at.

Thank you for the info.... SINCERE THANKS, this time. I will act on your good info. (You see? I knew I could solve this parasitic problem by posting on the Farng Pub.)

You left one out. Can you guess which entity you have forgotten? What a parrot! Monkey see... Monkey do.... No need to think, really.....

It might not matter to them....but.... It matters to me. And this is why I asked the question. Any opinions? Yes? No? Maybe?

I never debate NITWITS....
