major problem with buying far from where you live is warrenty service and/or return if it doesn't work. even companies that offer 'international' warrenties may not service products bought outside the country in which the national subdivision operates. in other words, if i bought a thinkpad while visiting the u.s., and brought it back here to aus, the australian ibm people might be reluctant/refuse to service it because a) i live here; b) i am not just visiting; and, c) because they didn't sell it to me yet would have to charge the costs of service against their sales. i am just speculating re ibm, but that is how it works for many companies and their international warrenties - they are good only if you are travelling, temporarily in another country. please correct me if this has changed. regards, al Alden S Klovdahl / alden.klovdahl@anu.edu.au / fax: +61 62 49 05 25 Sociology Arts / Australian National University / Canberra ACT Australia 0200 On Mon, 26 Aug 1996, Christoph Eyrich wrote: > Does anybody know where to buy hardware such as a HD in Hongkong? > A friend of mine is going to Hongkong and I'm wondering if this > is the moment to upgrade my HD.
