Computer Supplies - where to buy computer paper, printer cartridges,
CD-R supplies, etc
In previous columns I have mentioned several places that have
extensive computer supplies like paper; print cartridges;
blank CD-Rs; etc. Here are most of the places in Bali:
• Makro – limited selection
of printer cartridges, but plenty of paper; CD-Rs; etc
• Gramedia (both stores) –
good for paper supplies
• Mega Systems in Ubud –
has everything
• Bali Computer Center in Denpasar
(RIMO) – has everything

a wonderful site for those of us lucky enough to live in Bali.
They even have forums so you can post a question and have
folks answer it for you.
Q: What’s the best way to clean some of the dirt off
my computer’s monitor without damaging it? Yanti
in Ubud
A:
• To clean the monitor (UNLESS
it is a laptop LCD), simply apply some window cleaner or TV
cleaner to a cloth until it is damp (not soaked) and then
rub the monitor screen evenly. Never, and I mean never, apply
the cleaner directly to the monitor - that is an easy way
to ruin a very expensive piece of computer equipment.
• Unlike a computer monitor
the LCD is not made of glass therefore requires special cleaning
procedures:
• When cleaning the LCD screen
it is important to remember to not spray any liquids onto
the LCD directly, do not use a paper towel as it may cause
the LCD to become scratched.
• To clean the LCD screen we
recommend that you use a soft cotton cloth. If a dry cloth
does not completely clean the screen you can apply rubbing
alcohol to the cloth and wipe the screen with the damp cloth.
Rubbing alcohol is actually used to clean the LCD before it
leaves the factory.
