Mikevdg,

In addition to using "le" in place of "la", I don't think "be" is 
correct. (I don't have the earlier messages in this thread; I apologize 
if this has already been discussed.) The x2 place of skami is the 
purpose of the computer, so "le skami be me" would be "the computer for 
the purpose of me", which I don't think makes sense.

Perhaps what you meant was "le skami pe mi" or, more succinctly, "le mi 
skami".

mi'e brus
