Revisit to Bali Computer Center (Rimo) in Denpasar &
@Highway in Ubud
Stop the presses. Today I was going to give you information
about how to use the Internet to solve your computer problems.
But let’s save that until the next issue. Instead
I want to let you know about 2 businesses that have really
enhanced their services since I discussed them in previous
columns. Bali Computer Center (RIMO) in Denpasar and
@Highway in Ubud.
Let’s first discuss Bali Computer Center (RIMO) in Denpasar
near Ramayana. They have now added a 4th floor of computer
shops! Now there are over 50 open shops to supply your
computer needs. Some of the new shops specialize in:
notebooks (repairs; upgrades; and previously owned and reconditioned);
previously owned and reconditioned desktop computers; PDAs
– a whole shop with many to choose from; Networking
specialists; monitor repairs; blank CD-Rs, CD-RWs, and
even recordable blank DVDs; accessories to create you own
broadcast quality videos; a Logitech store!; a MAC shop; printer
cartridge refill shop (they fill your cartridges for you);
even a new training shop to learn the latest Microsoft, Adobe,
etc. software to make you more productive. Plus other
shops that all compete on price for you. Have a computer
built to your specifications! Have a question?
Call Pak Rony at (0361) 240176 or fax at (0361) 240177.
Open everyday 10AM to 10PM. Lastly, while I was there
last week, I saw the neatest must have for the traveling computer
user. It’s called CPU Barebone! It’s
no larger than a hardcover book (and weighs less). It’s
a Pentium4 with built in 100/10 LAN; 2 firewire connections;
4 USP 2.0 connections. It’s from http://www.Iwill.net.
For 7,799,000rp you get this little ‘desktop’
computer with all the above, plus a slick 15” LCD monitor;
keyboard; 128MB RAM; 20GB hard drive; UPS!; DVD; 32MB graphics
card; and small Altec Lansing speakers. Great for traveling.
Go to ComputerOne at RIMO for a look
And in the Ubud area - @HIGHWAY is still the fastest Internet
cafe. But it is now larger and has more services for you.
They’ve moved down the main street next to the Neka
Gallery, near the Post Office. More room! More services! Still
- the highest speed internet via satellite with T1 connections
stabilized by fiber optics. Fast Pentium 4s & an iMAC;
large LCD monitors; both CD & DVD burners; bandwidth on
demand for videoconferences; scanners; fast photocopier; high
quality color printers. Special desks so you can plug your
laptop into their high speed network. They’ve now added
training and computer repairs and upgrades. They even do graphic
design and web development. Have the latest dreaded VIRUS?
They can help you get your computer back and healthy again.
Have a digital camera - they can offload your images and burn
a CD or DVD for you. Special 249rp/min 10PM to 8AM and membership
cards for even lower rates (call them). HighwayBali at (0361)
