Due to the current financial crisis, there will surely be some casualties - retrenchments, cessation of business, family fortunes in the stock and property market being wiped out, and so on and so forth. What's worst is that you have mouths to feed, and many loans to pay. Depressing indeed.If you happen to be a victim of the financial crisis, and have school going kids, I'd like to recommend this program that an ex-colleague of mine is handling. It's called "NEU PC Plus", by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore. This program applies to all Singaporeans and its permanent residents.
Just by paying $285 for a Desktop Package or $730 for a Laptop Package, you'll get computer, together with broadband connectivity, anti-virus software and even Microsoft Office installed! Of course, terms and conditions apply. To apply or to find out more, do check out this link.
Of course, the worst thing that you can hear upon presenting the computer to your kid is, "hey, why isn't this the latest Macbook Pro?!?!"
