Virus detection from the PC Flash Disk
Computers can be infected with the virus via a USB flash disk (UFD). But, from where the virus originated in the UFD. From the computer that is infected, of course. For example computers in the cafe-cafe. So, also ban the entry of virus into the UFD. How is the computer that would scan dicoloki UFD.
We can run antivirus software that is portable, antivirus software stored UFD in, I need to be installed on the computer to be running. With antivirus software, the computer will be scanned. Well ... indeed, does not take a little time, if apalgi computer files that have very many. But, as indeed it is true in the IT-world comfort with the security measures.
What we need is a portable antivirus software, such as AntivirX, ClamWin, which can be downloaded from www.clamwin.com. We also need to create a file that way automatically when the UFD however, expect. Files that will run antivirus software on the UFD. This is similar to the way the files automatically, which often are on the CD installation program.
Open Notepad and type the command lines below.
[autorun]
Open = antivirus.exe
Action = Open Anti-Virus Portable!
Icon = icon.ico
Label = Your_Name
If you are, store with the name autorun.inf. Not to be TXT files, change the Save as Type to be [all].
The following is a brief explanation about the commands in the file autorun.inf yesterday.
The "Open" is a command to open the antivirus software. Open the command followed by the file to run antivirus software. So, replace "antivirus.exe" in the name of the file it with the antivirus software that is used. For example, the file name antivirusnya "antivirx.exe" the command to "Open = clamwin.exe." Now, if the file is located in another folder, for example, the folder AntivirX 1.0, the command is changed to "Open AntivirX = 1.0-clamwin.exe."
The "Action" useful to show the sentence in the dialog box when the antivirus software will run. Sentences that follow this command can be replaced with other words.
The "Icon" work to change the icons UFD standards that appear in Windows Explorer. Call no special function related to antivirus software, the icon is only beautify it. Of course there must be a file icons UFD also. Name the file in the example "icon.ico" replaced with the name of the file icons used.
Finally, the "label" work o provide the name of the UFD. Same as the "icon", the baseball is also related to the prevention of the entry of the virus business.
Autorun.inf file attributes that made it a "Read-Only" - it can read, can not be changed. If you can not be changed, meaning the virus will not be able to modify the file. How this is the case, right-click the file, then click [Properties]. In the attributes, check on [Read-Only].
The following is the use of the UFD to detect the virus in the computer.
1. Enter the UFD, but do not open the flash disk on the computer. UFD has not been opened, the computer virus will not enter into the flash disk, or vice versa.
2. Run the road automatically by clicking the [OK] button on the dialog box that appears. Antivirus portable on the UFD will be running.
3. Virus scan on the computer, especially in the C:-Windows-system32.
4. If there is antivirus software reported a virus, do not hesitate, the computer is bervirus.
5. Next please clean the computer. If not, no pull only rush however, expect the UFD.
Caption:
1. Autorun.inf file that will run antivirus software automatically contain lines such as command appears in the picture.
2. When executed, an option appears with the text as entered on the command line "Action". Select it and click the [OK]

Media Player Classic
Nevertheless, there are still many technical terms with the settings that can not be understood by most users unless they understand about the manipulation of digital video, so fair when a video display that can be played only visible when there is a mess settings changed by users who do not know .
Such as Windows Media Player version of this classic very rely on the availability of the codec installed in Windows that can operate. Can be said that this software can play video files in any format, providing for the needs of the codec has been installed in Windows.
The nature of a free program that can be included to make any package, and anyone can download them without having to remove the special charge. What is more interesting again, the actual software does not need to be installed, users only need to put in the cleanup and then create a folder on the Windows shortcuts in it.

Represented a digital connection HDMI port that will accommodate the needs of high-definition display.
Tembaknya reach far enough. This makes the Acer P3150 less practical when used in small-sized space. However, the quality level of brightness offered enough light. This is evident when we try in the room with adequate lighting, the look is still clearly visible.
Unfortunately, facilities such as memory and a USB slot as the media read the expiry appropriate. If it is included, it will add practicality and the nature mobilitasnya because it can be used without a PC assistance. There is one USB port, but the port is used to input devices, for example, as the connector on the wireless mouse.
Acer P3150 is suitable for those who frequently make presentations outside the office and the practical need for the projector to be taken anywhere. While the resolution fiturnya and simple, this projector does not appear asalan-origin. The level of brightness and support HDMI port can be reliable when you need multimedia capabilities.

HP Compaq dx2310 MicroTower
Because the activity is intended for office, dx2310 MicroTower designed in the form of a standard without additional accessories and other such card reader. Multimedia device is also standard. In addition to the DVD-writer and audio, there are no additional FireWire connection for other purposes such as video editing. All the facilities are complete optional, so you must add more funds to get them. However, to ensure the connectivity of data is used controller class Gigabit Ethernet network.
As a PC for office purposes, dx2310 deliberately designed with the normal specifications. This is evident from the use of Dual Core E2180 processor speed of 2GHz and 1GB of DDR2 RAM, combined with the graphics card onboard Intel GMA X3100. Consequently when the test through our standard, the results indicated that not special. To run productivity applications such as Office there is no problem, but a score of 124 on the 3Dmark 2006 shows the PC could not be invited to play games weight class.
To support its performance, in the application by the dx2310 is HP's Backup and Recovery Manager for ease of doing back-up your important data. Do not worry too matter in which store data as dx2310 provides hard disk with a capacity of 160GB.
***
As for the desktop PC business, HP Compaq dx2310 package MT is sufficient, and we still do not recommend for gaming. Some specifications that appear similar to the PC is actually a mini Nucleom AG80, which is also our test, but the Atom processor performance clearly less quickly than the Dual Core. For normal office activity dx2310 this package we can recommend to you.

Happy Birthday Computer Mouse
The BBC have an interesting video clip of this, showing that we haven't actually come too far in 40 years (in terms of ideas).
"The mouse, which was built by Bill English, helped Dr Engelbart demonstrate how text files could be clipped, copied and pasted as well as showing ways of using computer networks to collaborate on projects or co-edit documents. Dr Rulifson joined the group that Dr Engelbart assembled at the Stanford Research Institute in California after meeting the charismatic engineer while attending the FJCC in 1965.
Dr Engelbart wanted computers to act as helpers that augmented human intelligence and enabled people to operate far more efficiently and productively than they would without such tools.
The 1968 demonstration showed off the computer system, called NLS, developed to put these ideas into practical form."
Read the article and watch the video at the BBC.
Windows 7 is Official
"The decision to use the name Windows 7 is about simplicity. Over the years, we have taken different approaches to naming Windows. We've used version numbers like Windows 3.11, or dates like Windows 98, or "aspirational" monikers like Windows XP or Windows Vista. And since we do not ship new versions of Windows every year, using a date did not make sense. Likewise, coming up with an all-new "aspirational" name does not do justice to what we are trying to achieve, which is to stay firmly rooted in our aspirations for Windows Vista, while evolving and refining the substantial investments in platform technology in Windows Vista into the next generation of Windows."

Internet Explorer 8 due in 2009
"Microsoft plans to offer one more public test version of Internet Explorer 8 before releasing the final version of the updated browser, the company said late Wednesday.
The next test, essentially a "release candidate" version will come in the first quarter of 2009. That means the final release won't hit Microsoft's initial goal of finishing the browser this year.
"Our next public release of IE (typically called a "release candidate") indicates the end of the beta period," general manager Dean Hachamovitch said in a blog posting. "We want the technical community of people and organizations interested in Web browsers to take this update as a strong signal that IE8 is effectively complete and done.""

- Saatnya mengupdate AVG Free 8.0
Beberapa teman yang menggunakan AVG Anti Virus, mungkin mengalami kesulitan ketika mau update AVG. Atau sudah download update, tetapi ketika di klik update, muncul pesan bahwa tidak ditemukan update-nya, sehingga Internal Virus Database Out of date. Berikut penjelasan untuk update AVG Anti Virus.
Bagi Pengguna Online
Jika pengguna online, maka proses update sangat mudah. Seperti sebagian besar anti virus, AVG akan mengupdate sendiri. Defaultnya, AVG akan mengupdate setiap hari, mulai jam 08.00 sampai jam 09.59. Akan dicek apakah ada update terbaru. Jika ada maka file update akan didownload secara otomatis. kKrena proses update setiap hari, maka prosesnya akan sangat cepat, biasanya hanya beberapa KB saja dan memerlukan waktu yang singkat, kadang kurang dari 1 menit. Untuk merubah atau mengatur setting update otomatis ini, caranya :
- Buka AVG, pilih komponen Scheduler
- Klik Tombol Scheduled Task
- dan Pilih Update plain in Basic Mode, dan Klik Edit Schedule
- Disana bisa diatur mengenai update otomatis ini
Bagi Pengguna Offline (manual Update)
Jika tidak terhubung internet, maka sebelumnya kita perlu download file update yang telah disediakan. Bisa download dari alamat http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download-update-7 di bagian Priority updates. Disana disediakan beberapa update yang bisa kita pilih.
Tetapi sebelumnya kita harus mengenali versi AVG yang ada di komputer kita. Untuk mengetahuinya, buka AVG ( double klik icon avg yang ada di systray ( biasanya pojok kanan bawah), dan perhatikan keterangan di status bar programnya. Seperti contoh berikut :
Setelah diketahui versi program dan database, maka kita buka alamat web untuk download file update yang diperlukan. Tampilannya seperti berikut (Priority Upedate) :
Berikut penjelasannya
- Bagian 1,2,3 dan 4 untuk mengupdate program AVG menjadi versi sesuai yang ditampilkan. Misalnya no 1 untuk mengupdate program AVG ( semua modul) menjadi versi 7.5.516. Khusus no 3 merupakajn update untuk Linux. Jika AVG anda versinya dibawah 7.5.516 maka sebaiknya download juga update nomor 1, nomor 2 dan 4 tidak perlu.
- Update 5,6 dan 7 untuk mengupdate Database virus menjadi versi 269.19.20. Ini bisa disesuaikan dengan versi database virus pada program AVG yang ada dikomputer kita. Jika versi database virus lebih dari 269.0.0 dan kurang dari 269.19.0, maka download update nomor 6. Jika versinya sudah 269.19.0 atau diatasnya, maka cukup download nomor 5 ( yang berukuran paling kecil ). Sebaliknya jika versi virus database dibawah 269.0.0 maka download nomor 7.
- Untuk update IAVI ( nomor 8 ) mempunyai ukuran yang paling besar. Jika release terakhir adalah update ini, maka agar AVG update ke versi terakhir, memang harus download file ini. Seperti tampilan diatas, update nomor 5,6, dan 7 hanya sampai tanggal 4 februari 2008, sedangkan nomor 8 sudah sampai tanggal 5 februari 2008.
Setelah file update ( berakhiran *.bin) sudah berhasil di download, maka langkah update dapat dilakukan sebagai berikut:
- Buka AVG, pilih Komponen Anti-Virus
- Klik Tombol Update, kemudian dari window yang muncul, klik tombol folder. dan cari dimana lokasi file yang telah kita download tadi. Maka akan muncul pesan bahwa Update baru telah ditemukan, dan muncul konfirmasi apakah akan diupdate, maka pilih Yes.
- Maka proses update akan berlangsung, tunggu sampai selesai
Keterangan
Jika ketika di klik tombol Update, AVG langsung mencoba update ke Internet, dan tidak ditampilkan pilihan apakah kita akan update langsung melalui Internet atau folder, maka bisa settingnya perlu diubah. Caranya pilih Komponen Update Manager ( di tampilan utama AVG ) dan klik tombol Properties. Hilangkan check di opsi Do not ask for the update source, kemudian klik Apply. Dan ulangi proses update.
Optional Update
Optional update diperlukan untuk mengupdate komponen selain database virus. Misalnya perbaikan program, perubahan atau tambahan lainnya. Jika database virus AVG sudah diupdate, tetapi icon AVG masih belum menandakan update (icon masih hitam/abu-abu), maka mungkin perlu download Optional update ini. Berikut contoh tampilan Optional Update :
Notebook Terbaru, Memadukan Seni dan Teknologi
Itu pula yang ditawarkan Hewlett-Packard (HP) ketika meluncurkan notebook teranyarnya pada Kamis (30/10) lalu. Tujuh notebook dari tiga seri yaitu HDX, Pavilion dan Compaq Presario diluncurkan di tengah kondisi rupiah yang melemah.
Ketujuh produk teranyar itu ditujukan bagi tiga target pasar berbeda, yakni bagi konsumen yang melihat keterjangkaun harga hingga konsumen yang berkantong tebal.
Seri Compaq Presario mewakili produk yang ditujukan bagi konsumen yang mencari produk dengan kehandalan performa namun dengan harga terjangkau. HP mengeluarkan tiga notebook untuk seri Presario ini yakni CQ 45 dan CQ 20 serta CQ 40.
Berbagai produk tersebut dibandrol dengan harga berkisar 500 dolar hingga 1.000 dolar.
Jajaran notebook Presario ini menghadirkan sentuhan akhir unity imprint yang merupakan desain terbaru di industri notebook PC, ragam optikal drive, teknologi nirkabel serta kemampuan mikrofon analog atau webcam.

Walaupun demikian, seperti laser mouse lain, Logitech ini juga dapat digunakan di atas meja berikut dengan tombol kiri dan kanan. MX Air segera tersedia seharga US$ 150.
Revolusi Teknologi Laptop Terbaru
Gambar yang dihasilkan pemutar video dan televisi definisi tinggi lebih cerah dan jernih. Perbedaan dan detail warnanya lebih kontras. Gambar dari frame ke frame pun tidak terputus-putus seperti yang sering terjadi jika kita menyaksikannya di monitor laptop.
Mungkinkah menikmati film di laptop layaknya menonton dengan bantuan pemutar video definisi tinggi? Tentu saja. Dengan laptop atau notebook berbasis Prosesor Intel Centrino 2 atau Intel Centrino 2 With vPro, hal itu bisa terwujud.
Intel Centrino 2 dan Intel Centrino 2 With vPro adalah platform prosesor terbaru keluaran Intel. Kedua produk yang sebelumnya dikenal bernama sandi Montevina ini resmi diluncurkan di Indonesia pada Rabu pekan lalu.
Menurut pihak Intel, teknologi Intel Centrino 2 dan Intel Centrino 2 With vPro akan meningkatkan performa fitur-fitur utama laptop, termasuk semua fitur multimedia atau home entertainment, mulai dari film definisi tinggi, foto, sampai games. Intel mengklaim, kinerja dan daya tahan baterai laptop bakal meningkat dengan menggunakan produk termutakhir mereka ini.
Kedua prosesor ini menggabungkan komponen berteknologi terbaru dari Intel, antara lain lima prosesor Intel Core 2 Duo dengan teknologi proses 45 Nanometer, chipset terbaru Mobile Intel 45 Express, Intel WiFi Link seri 5000, serta koneksi jaringan Gigabit Intel 82567.
Prosesor Intel Core 2 Duo dengan teknologi proses 45 Nanometer memiliki kinerja inti ganda namun efisien dalam penggunaan energinya. Menurut Country Manager Intel Indonesia, Budi Wahyu Jati, jika performa meningkat, biasanya penggunaan energi juga lebih besar.
"Tapi dengan Intel Centrino 2, di saat performa meningkat, penggunaan baterai justru lebih hemat," ujarnya. Dari rata-rata kebutuhan 35 watt, dengan Intel Centrino 2, kebutuhannya turun jadi 25 watt. "Baterai laptop cukup diisi ulang sekali sehari," Budi menambahkan.
Selain hemat energi (masuk dalam kategori Energy Star atau ramah lingkungan), Prosesor Intel Centrino 2 juga memakai teknologi Green Computing sejak awal. Pembuatannya tidak menggunakan timbal dan halogen. "Halogen menyebabkan pencemaran udara. Intel Centrino 2 tidak memakai Halogen," tutur Budi.
Sementara itu, chipset Mobile Intel 45 Express akan meningkatkan kualitas video secara dramatis, yakni tiga kali lebih baik dibanding kinerja grafis 3D-nya. Chipset ini meningkatkan kinerja compressing video definisi standar hingga lebih dari 80%, dan mencapai 90% untuk video definisi tinggi.
Dilengkapi port HDMI, laptop tinggal dikoneksikan ke televisi untuk memutar film-film cakram DVD definisi tinggi. "Tidak usah repot mencari pemutar video definisi tinggi," ujar Budi.
Pada acara peluncuran di Cafe X2 Plaza Senayan, Jakarta itu, pihak Intel Indonesia memutar video dan memainkan games dengan laptop berbasis Intel Centrino 2, dan membandingkan tampilan gambarnya dengan tampilan pada laptop berbasis prosesor terdahulu.
Dengan Intel Centrino 2, gambar jauh lebih jernih. Proses streaming video juga lebih cepat. Saat menampilkan game, kualitas grafis yang dihasilkan jauh lebih baik. Misalnya grafis air, di layar tampak lebih sesuai aslinya.
Adapun teknologi Intel WiFi Link seri 5000 akan memberi kecepatan dan jangkauan lebih dalam koneksi Wireless-N. Teknologi Intel WiFi Link 5300 adalah WLAN adapter pertama di dunia yang memberi bandwidth jaringan mencapai 450 megabit per detik (Mbps). Sedangkan WiFi Link 5100 memberi bandwidth jaringan hingga 300 Mbps.
Menurut Budi, saat meluncurkan Intel Centrino pada 2003 lalu masih sedikit hot spot WiFi yang tersedia. Penjualan desktop PC pun jauh lebih unggul dibanding notebook. Kini di Amerika Serikat, jumlah penjualan notebook melebihi desktop.
"Kita kini melangkah ke teknologi hiburan definisi tinggi, online gaming, broadband wireless kecepatan tinggi, serta pengaturan bisnis yang lebih mudah dan aman," tutur Budi. Semua ini ada di Prosesor Intel Centrino 2. Regional Manager Intel, Sujan Kamran, menyebut produk ini sebagai "revolusi terbaru teknologi laptop".

Printer HP Terbaru
Mulia Dewi Karnadi, Consumer Sales Director Imaging Printer HP Indonesia mengatakan, saat ini pihaknya sedang dalam tahap transisi untuk mengikuti aturan tersebut.
Pasalnya, proses integrasi stikerisasi dan registrasi yang harus disesuaikan dengan setiap lini produksinya dirasa sangat panjang, sehingga membutuhkan waktu untuk melakukannya, imbuh Dewi.
"Dalam proses ini kan jalurnya panjang ada dealer, ada master dealer. Dari faktor ini untuk terus mengikuti peraturan kita tidak bisa langsung mengikuti," kilahnya, via telepon kepada beberapa wartawan, Rabu (13/6/2007)
Lamanya proses ini diperkirakan Dewi, akan memakan waktu 2-3 bulan ke depan sehingga seluruh printer HP yang dijual di pasaran sudah dilengkapi stiker yang sudah teregistrasi.
Dewi menambahkan, dengan tidak diberikan stiker pada printer HP bukan berarti penjualan printer ini telah melanggar peraturan. Sebab, printer-printer tersebut sudah teregistrasi hanya proses stikerisasinya saja yang masih terpisah.
"Nanti HP akan siapkan satu portal dimana akan mempermudah kostumer untuk melakukan pendataan. Kita sendiri juga sudah mempersiapkan stikernya. Jadi nantinya proses registrasi dan stikerisasi mau ngga mau harus lewat dua proses," tukasnya.
Sebelumnya bertempat di Blitzmegaplex Jakarta, HP telah memperkenalkan jajaran printer terbaru mereka, yakni Office Jet Pro K5000, K5300 dan K5400. Khusus K5000 diklaim sebagai printer desktop tercepat di dunia, dengan kecepatan mencetak 36 page per minute (ppm) untuk mono dan 35 ppm untuk warna. ( ash / ash )
Perbedaan Intel Core 2 Duo dengan Intel Core Duo
1. Intel Celeron
2. Intel Pentium
3. Intel Core
Core duo berarti dua inti prosesor dalam satu chip (rumah/kemasan prosesor) dan termasuk dalam keluarga prosesor Intel Core.
Pada PC Desktop dikenal dengan dual core dan ini terkadang disalahtafsirkan oleh pedagang komputer sebagai prosesor Core Duo.
Core Duo adalah teknologi terbaru (keluarga prosesor Intel Core) yang hendak diterapkan Intel bagi Notebook. Seiring perkembangan diadakan perbaikan/pengembangan yang menghasilkan Core 2 Duo. Sepertinya Intel berkeputusan untuk juga menggunakan teknologi Core 2 Duo pada PC Desktop. Sehingga PC Desktop saat ini bisa mengadopsi teknologi Core 2 Duo tanpa perlu mengalami fase Core Duo.
Kesimpulan umum
- Core Duo dan Core 2 Duo memiliki dua inti prosesor !
- Core Duo diciptakan untuk Notebook, seiring perkembangan diciptakan teknologi Core 2 Duo yang mana selain bisa digunakan untuk notebook juga bisa digunakan oleh PC Desktop.
- Tidak ada processor Core Duo untuk PC Desktop yang ada yaitu langsung Core 2 Duo, sebelumnya dua inti prosesor juga sudah pernah diterapkan pada PC Desktop yaitu pada keluarga prosesor Pentium diantaranya adalah Pentium Dual-Core dan Pentium D namun microarchitecture antara keluarga prosesor Intel Pentium dan keluarga prosesor Intel Core tersebut sangat jauh berbeda termasuk ukuran transistornya. Perbedaan tersebut mempengaruhi kinerja, tingkat kebutuhan energi/daya (wattage), dan panas yang dihasilkan. Pada Core 2 Duo kebutuhan energi dan panas yang dihasilkan jauh lebih kecil dibadingkan pada keluarga prosesor Intel Pentium yang berintikan dua prosesor.
Teknologi & Fungsi
Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT±)
Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms. For businesses, Intel VT Technology offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel® TXT±)
Provides hardware-based mechanisms to help protect against software-based attacks and help protect the confidentiality and integrity of data stored or created on the system. It does this by enabling a trusted environment where applications can run within their own space, protected from all other software on the system.
Enhanced Intel Speedstep® Technology
Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology allows the system to dynamically adjust processor voltage and core frequency, which results in decreased power consumption, which results in decreased heat production, which in turn allows improved acoustics because fans do not need to spin as quickly. Systems supporting Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology require a compatible BIOS, a compatible operating system, and a compatible Intel processor.
Execute Disable Bit°
Intel's Execute Disable Bit° functionality can help prevent certain classes of malicious buffer overflow attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory by where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage and worm propagation. Replacing older computers with Execute Disable Bit-enabled systems can halt worm attacks, reducing the need for virus-related repairs. In addition, Execute Disable Bit may eliminate the need for software patches aimed at buffer overflow attacks. By combining Execute Disable Bit with anti-virus, firewall, spyware removal, e-mail filtering software, and other network security measures, IT managers can free IT resources for other initiatives. Enabling Execute Disable Bit functionality requires a PC with a processor with Execute Disable Bit capability and a supporting operating system.

Berikut adalah pertanyaan yang saya ajukan ke staf teknis Intel Corporation:
I see that you group the processors into 3 families, those are, Intel Core, Intel Pentium, and Intel Celeron. I believe there's a reason that you classify the processors into those 3 families, so what makes one belong to a family, what's the difference between them? Is it the processor's architecture, amount of core processor within and its relative, or else?
As you can see, there is no particular reason for the classification of the processors in terms of categorization; however, a processor must have certain characteristics to belong to a family. Some of the features that we take into considerations when classifying processor are speed, FSB, Dual Core(TM) Technology, Hyper-Threading Technology, Intel(R) Extended Memory 64 Technology, Cache memory, Intel(R) Virtualization Technology, Enhance Intel(R) SpeedStep technology, among many others. Bear in mind that not all processor would share the same features. There is also an engineering background to take into account that is related to the architecture used when building up the processor.
As you might have noticed, the classification of the processors is mostly related to physical and electronic characteristics. This is why, for example, we do not compare and/or comment about processors in terms of performance, since it would mostly depend on the motherboard and software loaded on the system and not on the processor itself.
Catatan: Pertanyaan yang saya ajukan via email dijawab dalam waktu kurang dari 17 jam walapun saya bukan merupakan pelanggan, bandingkan dengan kebanyakan perusahaan besar di Indonesia (perbankan & Cellular provider/GSM dengan kapitalisasi triliunan rupiah) yang terkadang lewat 2 hari email dari pelanggan baru dibaca/ditindaklanjuti sekalipun itu adalah keluhan pelanggan, ironisnya satu dua kali tiada balasan sama sekali!!
