I read about a friend’s blog recently, that her company is still using and providing her a “stone age” computer for her to use.
A Chinese saying:”If you want to have Quality results, you should use Quality tools” (sorry, I do not have a Chinese software to type in Chinese)
For people who use computer daily, he/she should know very well how important it is to have a good and fast running computer in order to have the job done (quality job). A slow and ill working computer might still get the job done, but that is not good enough. Quality job comes from happy employer. If you can keep your employer happy and highly motivated, then you will get Quality job done. Google knows this very well, hence providing a world refreshing working environment to their employers, where everybody (ok…almost everybody…or many people…) wish to get into Google.
This is 21st century now…computer is the very very basic tool that one should be stingy of. As myself is using computer everyday (more than 8 hours a day), personally I can feel how frustrating it is when a computer is slow and irresponsive.
Soon I will get a new PC. I am going to get a 24 inches LCD monitor for myself, while I will get a 19″ LCD new computer for one of my staff. CPU? Anything with coreduo is not going to disappoint in today’s world, but of course I am going to pump the memory to 3GB or 4GB. Can’t wait to build my own PC again! 😀

Hi KhoKing. How’s life? Yup, slow and ill computer really can kill me. Now everyday I try to get my job done faster, but I can’t really go to far because of the really slow computer. I have a laptop and PC at home running Windows XP on 512MB already makes me feel insufficient. Not to mention that old machine in the office with 192MB SDRAM!!
I also can’t wait to build my own new PC. Working in my current place, I can get dealer price (that’s the good thing working there), but before that I need to save up a little.
p/s: wow you have a macbook?
Saw the working environment of Google too! I can spend 24/7 there:) Reall great place to work at. Anyway, i agree with your thought, “Quality job comes from happy employer”
Hi KhoKing,
Just wanted to say that you don’t need special software to type in Chinese characters…. all you need is to add that capability via your Regional and Language Options tool in your Control Panel. (Sorry, am assuming you’re using WinXP… if you’re on Mac or Linux…. forget you read this)..
If 汉è¯Â拼音 is your cup of tea, then just click on the ‘Language’ tab, and then click ‘Details’…
Click ‘Add’ and then select “Chinese (Simplified) – MS Pinyin…”
And you’re done.
Its then a matter of toggling between keys to pull out the pinyin or standard roman character entry.
Hope that helps.
