Does anyone sell these "computers"?

Comments

Many worlds do. I take it it's not common so I'd recommend an ipad. It's pretty user friendly.

[voice]

[desertification]

Ipad? Is that a smaller kind?

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

It's a touch screen computer. Pretty advanced, and it holds a lot of information.

[voice]

[desertification]

How well does it hold up?

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

It's pretty durable, easy to use, and it's meant to be for people on the go. You'll need an AC charger to plug it into the wall but the battery life, provided you're not watching movies is upwards of 12 to 15 hours at a time.

"Movies"?

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

Recorded shows, like plays and such with effects and... well, you'd have to watch one to actually get a feel for it.

[voice]

[desertification]

Hnn.

I wouldn't be spending much time on that.

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

Probably not. But a ipad is good for organization.

[voice]

[desertification]

It sounds like it's a "tablet" type. Those do seem useful.

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

Yeah, it's pretty convenient and can store a lot of information. It's really easy to use as well.

[voice]

[desertification]

Something like that would be best.

Where can I buy one?

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

Any store that has electronics in a regular Earth-based world will have it. You can probably also ask someone to buy it for you and bring it, if they have a worldhop.

[voice]

[desertification]

People are that generous?

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

Depends on the person. Some will ask for a repayment.

[voice]

[desertification]

That won't be a problem.

Is there anyone who does this regularly?

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

I can go to any world, and buy anything I need, so just tell me what you're interested in for a ipad and I'll get it. Just pay me back for getting it.

[voice]

[desertification]

What form of payment would you want?

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

Something that's worth approximately the same amount.

[voice]

[desertification]

I assume gold is also acceptable for you?

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

Gold is fine. It's worth quite a bit in many worlds.

[voice]

[desertification]

Then I can pay you.

You do this sort of thing often?

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

Once in a while. A acquaintance of mine swears by apple products so he was more than happy to give up the one I gave to a friend last time. So he could buy the newest one.

[voice]

[desertification]

I see.

...Thanks.

Re: [voice]

[of_many_treasures]

No problem. I should have it to you in a day or so.

[voice]

[desertification]

I'll keep an eye out.

[glimmerous_fop]

I could get you any kind of communication device you'd like...computer, laptop, and touch-screen devices. Though I'd question it's compatibility with your world since some worlds have yet to be tech friendly.

[voice]

[desertification]

If electricity's the issue, that's not a problem.

[glimmerous_fop]

There's that...and the internet, though I suppose you'll automatically be connected to DDD's brand of internet no matter what. If you're okay with that then tell me what your needs are and I'll see what I can do for you.

[desertification]

A laptop or a tablet, with good memory.

[Someone's been reading his homework.]

[glimmerous_fop]

The iPad might be the gadget for you.

[desertification]

How much does one cost?

[glimmerous_fop]

Depends on what model you want, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Retina Display is probably what you're after. It can cost over 900 dollars.

[desertification]

Hnn, that's not a currency here. Do you use a gold standard?

[glimmerous_fop]

Gold does have value here based on purity, 19 grams of pure gold would be worth around 900 dollars.

[desertification]

That's affordable, then.

[glimmerous_fop]

It certainly can be affordable, did you want to make arrangements to get one?

[desertification]

I'm already making arrangements.

[Pause. Play nice with the people who have a lot more information than you do, Crocodile.] The offer is appreciated.

[glimmerous_fop]

Ja? Well never mind.

[Klavier is pretty laid back unless you intentionally get under his skin.] Glad to be of help though.
