The notebook did not even produce a glance from one of the many proprietors or their friends, many of whom were hanging out, playing computer games, watching VCDs, and some even smoking cigarettes. Small computer hardware and software shops fill the three stories of this market, shops that would remind readers familiar with PC EXPO of those obscure computer companies booths assigned minuscule booths located deep in the corners of the Javits Center. This article is dedicated to the illegal software market, which thrives at the Computer Zone at 198 Hennessy Road. On four floors crammed with small shops, half are selling computer hardware, half illegal software. Don't be misled.
Legal software is available as well.
CD-ROMs are not the only CDs you can buy here. VCDs and CD Porn are also readily available. A CD is a CD here, regardless of what has been stored on it. Newmann also discovered that most of the CD-ROMS are made in factories over the border in China, available there for a half to a third of the price they command in Hong Kong. Overall, I had a fabulous hour or two wondering what my father is going to request for his birthday.
