HDMI port

I bought a new laptop: 17,500 Baht (that's less than $500, I think). I almost bought a more expensive one, 25,000 Baht, but then I noticed it didn't have an HDMI port.

"WAIT!" I told the salesman, "it doesn't have an HDMI port. I need an HDMI port!"

Of course, I don't really know what an HDMI port is, and I have no idea if I will ever use it, but I thought it important. Why? Who knows?

I thought he would try to sell me a more expensive computer, but no! he pointed to the computer 30% cheaper and said, "well then, I recommend that one, it has an HDMI port!"

OK, I'll take it!

i got one, the HP mini 1001, for 17000, and I just realized that I can only connect to wireless internet!

Hey Mick. I didn't know where else to write this but if you are looking for 10 minutes of peace just head down to the foosball table and take on some townies! Hope you are well - SG Carney

Yes, a blue LED, of course!! How could one compute without a blue LED??? It's a Compaq. Regular size, and it has all the required jacks.

Wow! I haven't seen or heard the word "townie" in 30 years! Who is the mysterious voice from my past?
