Going Green is a major objective in my life and each time I buy something I think twice.
Our old VGA desktop screen collapsed. After months of having the screen changing color from yellow to green to blue, also the screen area started to shrink it finally stopped working and we had to decide: leave the desktop unused or spend money we don’t have on another screen.
After a few days deliberating we decided that it was better to buy a new screen and give some use to the computer. My first …

Usually I blog about ways to have a better life but sometimes I face same problems I can’t resolve.
Why do desktop computers are so noisy, at least mine is. The desktop is in the dressing room next to my room and I can hear i working downstairs. I’ve changed the processor, the fan, the energy feeding, what can I do more? At night it’s impossible to have it turned on and watching TV…so annoying.
Anyone experiencing the same problem? A noisy desktop? What can I do more?

The model is almost the same of the Homedics QRM-400H Therapist Select Quad-Roller Massaging Cushion with Heat from Amazon.com. There aren’t many models …

Here I am writing from my Toshiba Satellite, my best buy from 2007. Although I work in an office my laptop continues to be one of my best acquisitions because it allows me to do my hobby and my second work…blogging. I can be in the living room, in the garden, in bed and still blog. If you don’t have you, you should get one for Christmas.
