Mobile phone is mobile phone. I need it to make calls.

My hard disk space is running of space. I am thinking NAS Appliances. I have shopped around AUD$300-500. That's quite a lot for myself.

I can solve the problem of disk space and a new development server.

I have talked a number of graduates. They are not good at selling themselves. Most of them said they have not any work experiences. No, they have some practical experiences.

They can put those details into their resume.
