I think you want {le skami pe mi} (or, alternatively, {le mi skami})
here rather than {la skami be mi}; 1) I don't think you're using
"computer" as a name, and 2) x2 of "skami" is the computer's purpose,
rather than its owner.

It exploded? Or were you looking for {spofu}?

That needs a gadri after {fi} - I'll guess {lo}, so {mi jimpe fi lo skami}.

I believe that {ma kau}, rather than {zo'e kau}, is what you wan
there, and probably {le/lo du'u} rather than {le nu}: {mi djuno lodu'u
makau klama le zarci}.

mu'o mi'e .filip.
