Don't worry, squingy. Gerhard will screw on a lil tray in the wooden box to accomodate ice cubes.

I started my business with a few products that had my competitors laughing. Now even some well known Japanese companies have started releasing products that are based on my original idea.

Condoms made from cow guts; original indeed.

That's very innovative. Bangladesh was chosen over Guyana to offshore the manufacturing and packaging of Condoms due to the high cost of doing business in GUyana. I also noticed my camping gears are manufactured there.

I think you PPPites have missed the GR's point of job creation for Guyanese and the much needed inflow of foreign capital to uplift Guyana.

There is more dignity in being gainfully employed than depending on barrels and remittances from friends and relatives abroad.

Well, for a failed hukster and tax cheat, you certainly seem to have developed an expertize in about everything, including being a circus clown.

If you want wan Wood Computer Vote KFC
Yuh gun hold Hood Yuh Gun hold Hood.

Snakeoil Ah Plenty Yuh gun hold hood yuh gun hold hood


Oh what a GREAT Friday already.

If you want to pay $300 for a $150 netbook (it is not a laptop), vote PPP.

wow gerhard, who came up with that idea? its one of the best thing i've seen.

an ordinary case sells for 50 usd, with wood it would be much cheaper and more durable. even purpleheart scraps and be used to build that case,, you know i would prefer itikiboroballi or wamara

this could be a niche product that we can export - vintage desktops.

only idiots would not know the potential you have just discovered in our amerindian brothers, the possibilities are endless!!!!!!!

HEEEHEEEEHAAAAAAHAAAAAA Oh Meh Laad oh.

We gun get Reeech We gun get REEEEECH WE gun Get Reeech

I ask this question not as a means to denigrate, for I wholeheartedly support the entrpreneural concept underlying the local assembly of this product!!!

Hi squingy, you are perfectly in order. The questions need to be asked, and in asking them you are helping me hone the message.

The particular model that I have commissioned uses this motherboard: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/d525mw It is low power, hence low heat. It still has quite some power - 1.8Ghz dual core processor, and we put in a 2GB memory chip (DDR3). It is actually a desktop using laptop type parts, and therefore comparable in terms of power consumption and heat. The advantage over laptops is that these parts are readily available from different manufacturers at your local computer store. Laptop parts specific to a model, such as motherboards, screens and keyboards cannot be gotten in a store, and are often limited in supply as new laptop models are churned out every few months.

Here are some more pics of wooden cases:













If the Gov't buys desktop computers made with wooden cases, can you imagine the boost to the local woodworking industry? Not to mention the export potential, especially for our exotic woods.

But these are the things the PPP urinates on. Imagine Gail Texeira told me we don't have the capability to assemble computers here.

Gail Texiera speaks through her ass she really should not even speak on technology issues, She talks about networking and uses it as a buzzword but she has no bloody idea what she is talking about.

Daft woman and arrogant to boot.

Thank you very much Cde Bookman - much appreciated.

I actually have more than a decade experience in IT, computer assembly more than anything else - I used to write IT columns for Stabroek News too. I managed two companies NT Computeac and GuyanaNet. Both companies that underwent positive transformation under my watch - NT more so. When I joined the company in 2004, they were renting parts of a downstairs and within 18 months, they were renting a three story building. Of course, it was not all my doing, but I played a large role.

I also have over 15 years of experience as a diesel mechanic, particularly the old German engines - but I have done Caterpillar and Ford as well.

unfortunately, no one cares for durability in computers since they have an active shelf life about 18 months before obsolescence is their lot. It would be nice if someone picks up all of those plastic bottles and recycle them and and reuse them in an extruding system into cases and other things.

Indeed D2, but a case can be reused many times over.

dont know about that. They have all sorts of exotic looking cases here and they all end up in the junk pile. I just rescued a wonderful plexiglass one with embedded neon lights which one can keep just because it looks good. I got it at a yard sale for 10. I am making a monster gaming machine with it.

point noted D2 but it will still be cheaper than the metal ones and will be a viable job outlet - imagine we can make and export wooden PC Cases

3. The world is filled with individuals having varied skills.

Gerhard Ramsaroop is one of those individuals and his political involvement is separate from his personal business ventures.

GR is a mechanic, IT Technican and farmer...he is also a politician, you need people who can multitask to be in decision making positions in this country.

He gun have plenty time on his hands.. He dont have to go from Village to Village selling Snakeoil and embarrasing himself. And after all that, dem gun kick him to the Curb like Goamattie.

The wood breaks down and it also looks much better than metal or plastic cabinets.
I love the old record players and tv's with wooden cabinets. The cabinets can be reused as bookshelves etc.
