One of our 'terrible' fears here is that our electronic equipment will break. The heat & dust are hard on them, and once they go down, there is not much in a way of backup plan. Africans seem to reuse everything, but basically the westerners are the only ones who use ipods and computers, so you are basically out of luck (or market) when it comes to fixing that Dell. We have had a few 'close calls' with our dear computer, but the biggest problem is just having it overheat. Thats what happenned the other night when we had some friends over for an impromptu film night (Castaway)... and you can see our valient efforts to shorten the intermission by using our little electronic fans. Ir actually loves these little fans and often races to get them out of the cupboard when the power goes out (ie, multiple times a week and even a day in May).
