THE MUSIC MAN STORE IN MY OPINION IS THE WORST ELECTRONICS STORE IN ST MAARTEN

When you're not used to good service, Then the Music Man will do, other than that....go elsewhere.
The worst products, the worst service. And I base my opinion on dealing with them and other electronic stores in St Maarten. They remind me of Blockbuster in the USA, they dominated the market, so they had the worst shit service available. Where is Blockbuster now??? Right, they're obsolete. Other smarter people came along, and provided their customers with the service they deserved, and put Blockbuster outta business.

WHEN WILL THERE BE FREE COMPUTER CLASSES FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN ST MAARTEN?

St Maarten, I know is trapped in time when it comes to technology. We're still stuck in an era somewhere before 2010. When trying to register an email account or sign up for various social websites, many St Maarteners are being denied... Why?
Whoever is in charge of the internet in St Maarten, has not done their job. Now that's only IF our government actually has an IT department for St Maarten.
When you try to register an email, country St Maarten DOESN'T exist, we are still very much the Netherlands Antilles online, so that's who we are to the rest of the world, and obsolete nation, that no longer exist. Many St Maarteners cannot set up accounts, because online and to the world we still use a 5995 area code. And although WE'VE been told about these changes, the rest of the world obviously does not know. Many people in St Maarten cannot even set up a PAGE because a telephone number is required, and when you put in 721...they will tell you that you are wrong, and give you the 5995 code, which makes set up impossible.
My other issue with the St Maarten government is that I don't see them offering any computer assistance or free courses to St Maarteners willing to learn. In fact MOST in government are PROUD to NOT know how to use a computer. How many Parliamentarians and Ministers have I spoken to that can't Google search? They don't have an email, because they don't know how to open one, and many people in government are scared to death of the computer and technology, and they are very PROUD to say so.
It's easy to fear the unknown, so why not research this 'unknown' to figure out what your fears are about? Our government doesn't realize that being proud to not know the computer, is like being proud to be in government while illiterate.
And I see that not only is our government not interested in learning about the latest in technology in order to advance along with the rest of the world,
they are doing NOTHING to educate their people about the computer.
How much MONEY did the government spend on TEMPO?
How much money has our government spend to educate its people on the computer.
Even Africa is ahead of St Maarten when it comes to the people online skills.
Occassionally you'll see an advertisement for some ridiculous high price class, but the brains in government to put together a plan to educate their people when it comes to the world of the computer.
I will ask at Parliament about courses etc, but our government is soooo computer illiterate, I just know that this will be a frustrating conversation.

TESTING OUT NEW CAMERA AND EQUIPMENT HEADED DOWN TO DIVI LITTLE BAY. QUALITY IS OBVIOUSLY BETTER

Testing out the Sony quality, a lot better than the JVC, but the JVC is three years old. The Sony is perfect for blogging, because the JVC was light, but didn't have the resolution, the Nikon is heavy, but not practical for every day uploading, because it takes up gigs of space. I'm supposed to got to Blue Point today, to look at laptops. I got my Samsung there, but I'm honestly looking for better options.
