My Life With IT

Every year, the PC Show would be on for 4 days. I try to go if I remember but with its success, the crowd has been getting horribly big. There is no oxygen to breathe even when I stepped into the entrance. I don’t get any chance to even touch that laptop I have been coverting.

This year, the pull of the show is not as strong as when I first heard of it. The first time I went, it was crowded. Weekends tend to attract more crowds. As the years go by, the crowd grew and the air stunk of bodies.

This year, the show is in a smaller venue. However, as the first day was a public holiday, the crowd was huge, sardine-liked and asthmatic feeling. These were the impressions by those who have gone the the 1st day. I suspect the baby strollers are used purposely to get through the crowd. Shrewd.

Oh, beware of pickpokets. Someone lost his camera. I wonder if I should buy Lenovo 3000 V100 (Consumer version) or Thinkpad X60. For compatibilities’ sake:
