# t'is
a bit of a shame, i couldnt believe my luck when i got called by my agency and they have a job for me that pays £25 an hour as a linguist. mere problem is i am only very good in german, not fluent. need to know names of computer hardware in german.

# why not just go to a german website that sells hardware
and see what they call each bit?

# I would have thought,
that most 'computer/hardware' type words were pretty similar?

# well some are...
RAM - RAM
Memory - Memory
Megabyte - Megabyte
Gigabyte - Gigabyte

but then some aren't...

Hard Drive - Fest Platte
Speakers - Laut Sprecher
Monitor - Bildschurm

s'all a bit confusing.
