Build Your Own Computer

You can put your own computer hardware together from a kit or a collection of parts and you might even be able to run Windows on it.

Just pull a junker out of recycling.
Or one can buy parts.
A cheap way is to buy a reconditioned box.

We can feed people in place.
Venezuelans must have an economy.
That probably means putting the oil companies back in charge and resetting the currency.
