My cousin's daughter is only ten years old and her father has already bought her a Dell multimedia computer. Her mother, my cousin, passed away two years ago, so everyone is treating the children like porcelain.
Ten years old only, what does she know about computers and how to use and maintain it, except for playing games? Her dad is also computer illiterate so he says it's better to buy branded for the warranty in case they are cheated by unscrupulous chinaman computer shops who always "claim" something is out of order when it is not.
Thinking back, I was not so lucky to have people buy me a computer. I had to sweat for it and at that time, computers were very expensive. Desktop computers with lauyah specs were sold at about RM2500. That was a fortune for me and all I could afford was a clone no-frills set up with a 14in screen. Wow, I treated it like gold, man, and used it till the processor died.
P/S: I still think computers are expensive!
