| I've been using computers heavily for the last 27 years. In my experience, if some component is 'weak', it usually gives up within 3 months after moderate to heavy use. Once that critical period has passed, it nearly always live beyond the point of being obsolete. I have HDDs over 10 years old that ... |

| Go to YouTube and search for: nexus 7 gps car You should find plenty videos there showing the nexus 7 in action as a car gps. Seems to work pretty well from what I can see. It's possible to pre-download google maps on Android over wi-fi, so as long as you stay within the downloaded area, you'll stil... |

| I have put hundreds of hours into Minecraft. It's a great game whether you want to just chill out or be really creative. It's like a virtual world, LEGOs and zombie survival all combined :D I got the game back when it was only 10 euro or something like it, but even at the price it is today, it's a b... |

| I have sensory issues. I suffer from chronic fatigue and sometimes pain. I have to rely on public transportation and do not have anyone nearby me with a car. The fact that I can now get most stuff on the net has made my life a LOT easier and I praise the net for making that possible. Heck, because o... |

| My ability to multitask depends on the number of people surrounding me, what kind of task I'm doing and how social I have to be. I can multitask just fine alone. Heck, I'd go so far as to say that I might be better than average as long as I'm completely alone, even if those tasks are stressful and c... |

| Always been a gamer, always will be. I started with cards, dice and boardgames. As soon as I could write, I started making my own boardgames. First one was a WWI dogfighting game... you know... shoot down biplanes and become an ace. I also made a galactic version of Monopoly... buy/sell planets, spa... |

| I remember getting a slight tactile sensation on what was basically a ZX81 clone (but looked more like an early ZX spectrum) if I remember correctly. The reason was simple though. The built-in speaker was mounted right underneath the keys and the error sound was a pretty loud multitone (short high, ... |

| I often go through that, even after having received a diagnosis. Of course, part of the problem with receiving the diagnosis has to do with the fact that I received it from someone I firmly believe has much less knowledge about AS than I do. It's like being a professor in quantum physics and having ... |

| As with much of technology, it's a double edged sword. Do you use it for helping people picking the right career track out of those that the person is interested in pursuing, or do you use it for controlling people by denying them entry into careers they may not have a natural talent for, but a stro... |
