Need computer terms and a couple of other weird ones

Can't Post | Private Reply

This @#$%^&*() FM3 is going to drive me bonkers. Could someone please give me the following terms?

1) external drive

2) mouse

4) leaf blower

5) weed eater

6) dolly (to move furniture)

Many thanks!

Cheri

Ok, I've been given terms for everything except a computer mouse. Help!

Thanks,

Cheri

And it's for the Menaje de Casa, not the $%^&* FM3. You can tell how much fun I'm having :(

All the Mexican techs I know simply say 'mouse'--regular English pronunciation.

You might put 'mouse' de computadora, for clarity.

when you got to pcenlinea.com you can not only order parts and computers in MExico fast, you can also get the vocabulary you may be looking for. They called the mouse, "mouse or ratones".

A mouse is a mouse.
A dolly or hand truck is a diablo

Leafblowers are immoral devices from hell
