I have the feeling these wouldn't fly in America...

Hey. Nice to see you're still well. I have two questions:

1. Why are you fixing computers?

2. Why wouldn't they fly in America?

I am well, myself. Sleeping WONDERFULLY.

1. Because my prof sent out an email for any student to come fix his computer, and was going to pay well, and also buy that student dinner. I know enough computers to estimate it was just some fiddly thing with the software he doesn't understand because he's, uhh, over 30, basically. So, very small investment for a good return, both in measureable remuneration and in goodwill from a faculty member.

2. Kinda racist. I know, you don't pick up on this stuff, but we're super-picky about stereotype stuff in the states. It's a dog-whistle.
