A website about birds of Chile


I like the birds of Chile, so I like to visit the web site www.avesdechile.cl. It is not a veterinary webpage but rather a biologist webpage.In 2006, my first year in college, I had to make a work about birds of wetlands for the course of zoology, and I found many information in this site, so I liked it. In this webpage, one can found information about the species of birds that live or visit Chile, as well as, its distribution, habitats, physical description, behaviors, etc. There`s pictures taken by biologists and sound of some birds too.In addition to the above, I like because there is news about what happens to some birds, and many topics very interesting about them, like the red list of birds of Chile, field guides, interviews with biologists, quizzes, and interesting links.I don´t visit the web site a lot, only occasionally when I want to know about a particular bird, but I will to do it this semester, because I am taking the ornithology course, and this site is very useful.

My favourite piece of technology


My favourite piece of technology is my notebook. It´s a HP compaq presario f500 series, AMD Sempron 1,8 GHz processor, which has operative system windows xp,120 Gb of hard disk and 1 GB Ram.
I bought it on July 2007 in “Almacenes Paris”
I use it for a lot of things. I do my works, see my classes files, listen classes and music, play games, watch movies, load pictures,, well, everything that a computer can do,,, but I can do it anywhere!!!
I use it everyday, including when I travel to Talca, I often play games or watch a movie in the bus. This way, the journey becomes not boring.
I like it because is portable and works very fast. When I bought it, it had operative system windows vista, and it was slower, but immediately I change it to windows xp and until now I haven´t had any problems.
I like it because is personal too. I can customize it to fit to my way of working and helps me to study.
I could live without it, but my life is easier with it. Before I got it, I had to use a friend´s computer (I live with four friends in a flat), and generally, we couldn´t use it for a long time, and I couldn´t have files in it.
