China

Pros and cons

My friend Sander installed my new computer.
After that we went out and ate sushi while discussing the pros and cons of couch surfing in China.

You forgot to mention that this is his blog too, at least technically. Pity he still doesn't have a word on the policy of how to run it.
I can provide the two of you with an update on mandarin chinese, if you are interested.
Sander
Could you same something more about this computer's technical specifications?
Neria
Technically I asked you a long time ago to not comment on this site. It is a pity that you don't have the decency to heed my kind request.
Arnon thanks!
... for pointing out to this website. Didn't even know such a website existed. It's something I need/was looking for right now.

By the way, I'm also curious what are pros and cons of couch surfing in China according to you.
Make-Up A.
If you use the search function on this site you will find out more about couch surfing.
As to the pros and cons, go to couchsurfing.com and judge for yourself.
Arnon
I just did both. Thnx!
Oscar
Thats not so hard to tell, it's a G5.
don't you all get bored of this blog?

I mean, it's nice to check in on it now and then, but every day?
COME ON!?
to Aliefka, to Noa
I'm glad you've turned to your actual name since I value truthfulness highly.
Which is why I would like to press upon the fact that Mayli is my real name. Also, I have never in the past and will never in the future write on this blog under any other name. I've never intended to disappear or to "stick my tongue out and then run off" as you've quoted Rutger so precisely. It just so happens that I rarely visit the site.
I really wish that there would be a blog that could catch my interest - catch it and never let it fall but so far I'm hoping in vain.
to Mieke, Noa, Aliefka
I hope there will be no further doubt concerning my identity. I am not Margot, nor Neria, nor Vilde, nor Liesje, nor any other female you think to be eloquent enough to match my language skils.
I am just Mayli - and Mayli is just.
To Arnon (or whoever is responsible)
Thank you for the search button on your homepage. It makes it so easy to catch up on the subjects that interest me.

If you don't like this blog, why spill your precious words here?
Why do you think anybody here will question your identity, do you think they care?

Or is this only a self promoting thing, that you like people to
Press the link…
@Mayli
It therefore would seem the subject that interest you is: yourself.
And Mayli , before things get confused here-I always said who was behind Noa if the occcasion arrived. A nom de plume if you will. If you do a search on Noa, you'll find the reason I kept using that name. Why I now use my own? Well, you'll find that reason too. Have a happy blog-day.
Arnon,
I'll be decent when you'll be decent.
There's no need for decency if we're all truthfully.
Mayli
do you know everything there is to know about this infinitely interestingly big wide world?
Reading this blog widens my horizon and Arnon is an excellently entertaining guide. Simply disregard comments you don't like. Ofwel: haal de krenten uit de pap...
Dens,
Truthfully decent?
Mieke,
Perhaps Arnon is a feminist after all, only he shows his solidarity in delay. We should expect him to join the fight against the robbing monkey in about a week or so from today.
Is anyone out there on twitter? See why I decided to: http://www.aliefka2day.com/

The machine we bought for Arnon is the 20" iMac, with 2 GB RAM and 320 GB harddrive. It has an Intel processor, as do all Apple machines since a few years, not a G5.

Arnons old computer is for sale on Ebay. Get it this collectors item now for $200. The only requirement is that you pick it up personally in NY, because it would be too cumbersome to ship. If you can get any company to do this for you, that is fine too, but you are on your own on this one.

Sander
Believe it or not, I'm about to get a 20" 2.4 GHz iMac myself. I would recommend upgrading the memory to 4GB, which you can do for about $60.
Oscar
It is a beautiful machine. The screen is really sharp. We had no time to wait, but rumors say an update of the iMac line is due in a few weeks. So if you can wait, you can get more iMac for your dollars.

The RAM might be a good idea although Arnons needs are simple. Mostly word processing (surprise!). We added a Time Capsule for Wifi and Time Machine backups.
Arnon
Stop picking on Neria.
Margot
I hate to tell you this but time has come for you to find a new virtual boyfriend.
Margot and Arnon,
i have no idea what's going between the two of you but two things: Margot, Arnon is not picking on me, but thank you all the same for trying to prevent it. Arnon, try to direct your anger to the right person, you're old and ugly and your meat is not good.
