Electronic Devices Experiences

Hi,

It was a pleasure trip to me in USA for about 3 years. Now I feel, at-home in Bangalore. It is a country only to earn while enjoy for some time, and to come back home. But not for settleing there, having only making money as a motto. During my stay there, I have seen many mixed minds of people. Many of our Desi People getting India an impression that, Indians only do anything for dollars and cents. This is bad.

We have to earn for living, no doubt about that; and nobody can deny that. But, we should not live only for earning. Some people live like poor ( some times resemble beggars ) to die as rich. Their lives are poor all through their life. These people causing plots, flats soaring like anything here in Bangalore or Hyderabad or Chennai.

Immediately after getting up bed, these people think only following,

1) "Any FREE offers today ?"

2) "Anything is coming for FREE after MIR ( Mail-In Rebate ) ?"

3) "Any service provider is there, who pays my mobile phone bill for 2 years for me FREE ?, So, I can sign in for 1 year contract"

4) "Anybody garbaged anything today in the trash ?, so it can be brought home"

5) "Will anybody hit my car today, from rear ?, so I can claim the liability which is more than my car value". ( "Other driver's Liability is my Asset" )

"DONATE" is the only word, these people dont like in their language.

Anything, whichever earns a cent more, can be shareable for these people. Car, Cell phone, Internet, Calling Cards, ... list excepts nothing including vegetables.
These are ready to drive in even 15 - 20 miles, if that earns 2 cents/Lb. ( Lb is meant for Pound = 453 Grams ).

Earning money should not be the only one all through the 24/7/365. We have to enjoy our lives during young age, but not afrer retiring.

PLEASE DON'T BRING A BAD NAME TO INDIA BACK !!!

Yes I use my sony camcorder as webcam whenever there is a small party or function and want to my family back in india to watch that.

just connect your camcorder to computer with IEEE firewire. I believe your camcorder and computer has it. and you good to go. if donot have it, some time USB cable will do the job. check the manual.

I got my PAL Video Cassette Converted to NTSC to Kumud Eletronics , they did a sloppy job . Is there any other good store anybody can recommend

Thanks

Just an FYI..... Assuming everyone knows that if you take a GSM fone to India it won't work because it is locked to the provider's network by default (eg tmobile, verizon etc), if you do want to take it to India (probly to gift it to someone or simply use it urself) then u have to unlock it. Two ways u can do it are :

1. Simply call ur cell phone company and tell them u r travelling outside US and want to get ur fone unlocked. They have some eligibility criteria.

eg Tmobile unlocks phones only after u have been subsribed to them for at least 3 months. If u pass the eligibility criteria then u can unlock it for free.

Cingular on the other hand has some different policy. In fact they refused to unlock the fone for a friend of mine and unlocked it for someone else. God knows what their criteria is?

2. If that doesnt work u can find auctions on ebay from ppl who can unlock ur fone for anywhere between $2 - $10. I got a Nokia 6610 unlocked for $2 last time !!

Yes, you can take laptops to India without any receipt or hide. You don't even need to write in the password while you are completing immigration. The law has changed and you can take laptop and leave it there for your family to use. Hope this helps

I ordered a dv camcorder from them in March 03 and at the time of this message (5/14/03) have not received it. Cameraclub.coms toll free number has been disconnected and their fax number and company number does not pick. They have my money and I am unable to contact them!
