Lessons learned

My IBM laptop finally crashed. 'I has a lot of virusses', the lady at the Indian computer agency at Bombo Road in downtown Kampala explained, when I handed it in. 'I will take a long time to fix it.', she added, while I was looking for somewhere to let out my anger. The thing is, it makes me feel amputated to be without my laptop, in spite the lady assured me it would be no problem to fix it. Fortunately, last week I invested in an external harddrive (which unfortunately doesn't correspond with my stand-in laptop.), which I'd recommend everybody travelling with a laptop in Africa. A laptop can easily be stolen, and in my case easily filled with red dust and infected with virus as I hook up everywhere (and didn't secure it properly). Argh!

sorry.

good thing about Kampala is there are lots of cybers, which are quite cheap also, but quality varies
