Recent computer News
Today, computer becomes human being’s main tool. Moreover, it changes and changes that shape and function. Having said that, recently, Microsoft released newest version computer, Windows Vista. To tell the truth, I bought my brand-new computer in this New Year with thinking about that if I buy my new computer before Vista release, I can get that cheaper, so time is now! Thus, I bought Windows 2003 computer. Then, what is new function and what is difference between former Windows and Vista? From my research, first, I know that Vista has better protection for number of virus than former one. Second, Vista has better computer function, for example, interesting slide monitor like Mac, Microsoft Office 2007, and faster speed. Now, I regret little bit why I did not wait and buy Windows Vista, but it also has some negative points, such as, high cost or large capacity. In conclusion, I anticipate that in the future, there might be more attractive version computer, and I would buy it for my child.

Introduce 3 good web sites
Through my life of NIC, I faced to manipulate English web sites. To tell the truth, before entering to NIC, I hardly did net surfing even if it was Japanese. Therefore, firstly, I did not have much knowledge about English web sites; however, now I can recommend three good web sites. These are helpful for my hard study life.
First of all, amazon.com is my most favorite web site. Since early childhood, my hobby was reading. Consequentially, now I like reading of English one. Although, I like to read English book, it is difficult to buy English book in Japan. When I go to Kinokuniya, which is one of the Japanese largest bookstores, I always have to order English books because in the bookstore, there is almost no stock of English books except popular one. On the other hand, in amazon.com I can buy any kinds of English books. Moreover, postage is free when I buy a book more than 1,500 yen.
Second of all, Japan times are one of the helpful web site. Since I became a NIC student, it became custom to read English article. Additionally, when I use Japan times, I can read any English article free, and it is compact rather than newspaper.
Finally, Wikipedia is most useful English site. It is an free encyclopedia, which I can use online. For my daily study life, there is a lot of task, which I need a brief definition, however, I use Wikipedia, so I can easily find my object.
In conclusion, good web sites are essential especially for students to study. Thus, I am using these web sites and developing my skill.

What do I know about the Mac (Apple computers)?
To tell the truth, I scarcely had knowledge about the Mac; for example, design was cute, a mark was a bitten apple, and Mr. Poza’s favorite computer!
However, from last class, I have much more knowledge about the Mac because we contrasted the Mac and Windows.
Surprisingly, the Mac has no viruses! That is because only 3 to 5 % of people use it.
Furthermore, Apple’s customer support is the most sophisticated in the all of the companies. In addition to that, the Mac is a world wide computer; it means even if I move from Japan to the U.S. my guarantee continue and changing language is easy.
Now, I have a PC of FUJITSU, but when I bought it, I had to abandon a guarantee of my computer because I was moving in the U.S. and FUJITSU could not warrant world wide.
Therefore, the Mac is so attractive for me!!
