7.2 Reliability


Man trades a laptop for a house!

An odd-job man from Canada has traded a laptop for a computer, using an Internet trading website.
Kyle Macdonald posted the laptop on the website and was offered a macbook in return. An artist then gave him a ipad in return for the laptop.
The blackberry was swapped for a Samsung galaxy ace, which turned into a iphone. This was swapped for a tablet, which in turn was traded for a  24ft tv.You might have thought this would be a good place to call it a day, but Kyle carried on, swapping the motorbike for a car, then a mp3 player then a ipod.
42ft tv was offered in return for the 24ft tv, and this was swapped for an flat screen. However, the army of fans who were now following Kyle’s progress on the website became anxious when Kyle swapped this for a 3d filming camera. A comment on the website read, "Kyle, man, what were you thinking? I personally think this is the craziest thing you have done."
But they need not have worried. A Hollywood director who collects cameras wanted it so much that he offered a house.
Finally, residents of a small town decided they would like someone in their town to get the house, so offered to trade a beautiful  farm or the house.

FONTS

WHY I PICKED WHAT:

1. I PICKED JOKER MAN FOR NUMBER 1 BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE TYPE OF THING INFANT KINDS WOULD USE.

2. I PICK THE CHILLER FOR NUMBER 2 BECAUSE IT IS CREEPY AND SHIVERING WHICH IS WHAT PEOPLE DO WHEN THE WATCH HALLOWEEN FILMS.

3. I PICKED SNAP ITC FOR NUMBER 3 BECAUSE IT IS BIG AND BOLD AND STANDS OUT JUST LIKE THE LOUD POP MUSIC

4. I PICKED VLADIMIR SCRIPT FOR NUMBER 3 BECAUSE IT IS OFFICIAL.

5. I PICKED ELEPHANT FOR NUMBER 5 BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE THE TYPE OF THING YOU WOULD SEE IN SPOTS.

Dear Mrs Honey

I hope you are well and had a good holiday. I had a really great holiday and now I’ve just started at my new secondary school. It was a bit strange at first because so many things are different.
Ø  For a start, we have to go to different rooms for all our lessons so I’ve got lost a few times!
Ø  We don’t have an assembly every morning – some mornings we have form time and our teacher sorts out any problems.
Ø  There are four ICT rooms and they are huge, I think you would like them because you like computers.
That’s all for now, I have to go to my music lesson now.

Best wishes
