My name is Tiberiu and I am from Romania. I am currently working, I'm earning around 100 USD a month. With such a salary, I can just dream about having a computer.\n\nI heard that in foreign countries, such as USA and Western European countries, people that don't need a PC anymore will just throw it to the trash bin. I am asking you, if anyone has an old PC at home or could spare some old PC components to send them to me, I will take good care of them.\n\nI know that there are people in need in Africa that would need a computer more than me, but think about it: many those people have never seen a PC, they just can't really appreciate one. I, instead, keep hearing all day about the wonders of having a PC at home.\n\nMaybe anyone will hear me and will able to do something for me.\n\nThank you and sorry for my English.

the problem is that you're still going to have to pay for the shipping costs.\n\nYou should visit ebay and make sure the seller is willing to send it to your country.

None if you live in the US.  If you are India where all the computer jobs are thanks to Bill Gates, then go ahead you'll always be able to find a job there.

Why don't you send an email to Microsoft, Attn:  Bill Gates: and tell him you reside in a third world country.  Perhaps he or his foundation will will sorry for you and send you a new PC.  \n\nUse your search engine and search for foundations.

I use a Dell laptop for work. Overall it has been good and I like it, but I have already had the motherboard replaced and the keyboard after having it for 18 months. At time of purchase it was about $2,500+ in cost.\n\nI have had very good experience and found good value in the Acer Aspire laptop line. Acer is a Taiwanese company that has been in the computer business for many years.\n\nSee my previous post at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AmvxOLm5dm2wazn3tkrM0ZgjzKIX?qid=1006041212179 for more details. That answer was rated as a best answer so I hope it is helpful to you too.\n\nGood luck!

I know a couple people making a decent 2nd income on e-bay one lady does a lot of yardsales and flea markets then resells on ebay another man I know buys wholesale and sell's new stuff on e-bay. they both do well. I do custom computer builds and repair on the side and have sold some of my old parts on ebay as well the trick to e-bay is be honest be fair and be profitable. lol You would also be able to be at home doing that as well..

Sure, I'll just let my kids go without Christmas presents this year and send that laptop right to ya.\n\nSeriously, if you get even a part-time job, and save all your earnings, you'll have enough to buy yourself a new laptop in no time.

What do we get in return for giving our jobs away?  A lot of people think that we are outsourcing only blue collar/labor oriented jobs say like manufacturing. We are also outsourcing engineering and other technical work to countries like India via the internet. There are a lot of high paying manufacturing jobs. I get my hands dirty every day at work and I am not ashamed because I will make nearly 50 grand this year. That's on 50 hours per week which is a lot better than some of the white collar workers I know. There is a rediculous misconception when I walk into a store after work with my dirty navy blue uniform on with my name on it that I must be poor or something but the fact is I probably make more money than just about anyone else there.  Sorry going on a rant here. The fact is that when you take raw materials and produce usable products from those materials wealth is created. If you can produce a product and take it all the way to the end consumer you can make a lot more profit. But that requires engineering, research and development, market analysis, advertising, packaging, warehousing, wholesaling, distributing, and final sales. At each of those points wealth is redistributed. It all starts with mining and manufacturing. Everyone else makes some money along the way. A lot of very high paying high tech machining/die making jobs have gone to Taiwan. They are developing skills there that not many here in the U.S. can see the benefit. It makes me sick every time a have to explain what a machinist does. A machinist makes anything from the pistons in your engine to the wheels on your car to the mold that was used to form the shape of anything made from plastic. For example your keyboard, monitor casing, and mouse were all formed from plastic in a mold made by a moldmaker which is a type of machinist. These are the types of jobs we are losing.  Manufacturing drives innovation and if we stop doing this kind of work then our engineering capabilities will suffer due to lack of use. The main reason our country has become so wealthy is because of the huge supply of natural resources that have been mined and then manufactured into usable products. At every point in our growth we have come against obstacles to produce enough to supply a growing population. Due to these obstacles innovation was required. If we allow other countries to do our dirty work for us we will also be allowing other countries to be innovative for us. And we will eventually become weak minded and unable to solve our own problems. To answer the question, "Why is outsourcing of US jobs bad for the US?" It is bad because it takes away from the SOURCE of our wealth and our strength. There are only four economic sectors that generate material wealth: agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and construction. Other sectors, such as services and trade, redistribute this wealth, and are built on the products created by the wealth generators. Check out the link I hope your paper goes well.

I also had this problem. To solve this, I bought one computer, printer, scanner, webcam etc. Searched for a good genuine website which could offer genuine home based job. I was able to find one. Now I am doing data conversion home based job and sponoring the website also. U can also do that way. This company gives regular work as well as payment also in time. U can also do that way.

It all depends on the model of your pc and also the age. If it is old the chances of getting a good price are slim, even if it is in good condition. Advertise it on your local radio station or why not try eBay.

Let us know what the closest main city is for help.  I find local computer places are much better than the big box stores.  Especially price-wise.  Look in your yellow pages for a store that services computers and sells re-furbished ones.  They're the ones that will use the parts they have on hand instead of trying to sell you special order stuff, or a whole new computer for that matter.

To be honest. Not much. The desktop market is just too saturated. I would look at donating it to a charity. You get a better tax write off than going through the hassle of trying to sell it, while helping out folks in need. Win-win. TX

laptops are cheaper outside India, believe me... But when you are asking someone to get one for you, make sure he removes the box and everything so that when questioned, he can answer that it is his own laptop and is taking along with him as he has some work with it... by doing it this way, the laptop reaches you without any duty on it...

I am 16 and I have a small buisness doing what the first guy said. I have made tons of money just helping people do mundane things. Just reimage peoples computers, or hook up VPN, that sorta thing. Like he said, competeing w/ dell is going to be hard. But if you start to fix people computers, make sure you tell them that you are "starting out" because just in case something goes wrong, it will be all you fault, and the world is going to come crashing down. Drum up some customers, and you will have a small clientel. Take it from me, I have a samll amount of experiacne. Just don't take my customers...
