It's finally here! Get your hands on Ma3Racer 1.5 now! on Android. Racing with public transport has never been this exciting. Test your skills against the busiest, roughest, most rugged Nairobi roads. Weave your Ma3 through traffic and over barriers in pursuit of coins and gold bags. But keep an eye out for the ominous black ma3 hell-bent on doing whatever it takes to stop you dead in your tracks. Kuwa chonjo. So you think you have what it takes to be the last Ma3 standing? Hold on to your device; this is going to be one heck of a bumpy ride!

(From Windows 8, that is) 1. Ava Find works! 2. Four other good reasons. I am sure they exist somewhere PS: If you are dual booting (Linux) on windows 8 and upgrade to win 8.1 you might lose the Linux boot. Consider boot repair disk<http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/>. Very straight forward and helpful

Technical Support/Customer Service Talks - Entry and Inexperienced
by Noah Ogori 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Hi - I have severally come across numerous customer comments and even complaints on this mailing list about less than expected experiences with technology firms and IT departments when it comes to support, service, resolution and response times. After many years of experience in IT Technical Support and often times dealing with fresh graduates etc, who the local IT firms take for entry level, there is a gap. This gap is rarely fixed in college and few companies take time to train 'fresh' technical support teams. Dept Heads are either too busy to notice or they are told to "learn on the job". No wonder we get the answers we get when we call customer service for whichever company in Kenya. I am willing out of my exposure and experience to support in giving to start off, talks to these new recruits, form a club for instance and help them through these experiences. Any like minded people out there? We can develop some sort of curriculum out of experiences. We will help many of our young brothers and sisters work in these companies CS/Technical Support aim for vision 2030! Noah
