MSI Megabook L740X-053UA
My laptop is titled MSI Megabook L740X-053UA so the manufacturer is obviously a Taiwan-based company MSI. However according to the sticker the product was assembled in China, which is even better. One thing remains unclear why among all the barcodes we can proudly read HOLLAND written in Latin alphabet. Perhaps during the brakes between planting their tulips the Dutch guys develop laptops.

I can’t exactly say what class it belongs to but this is definitely not an ultraportable device. More likely it is a budget replacement of a desktop PC for those customers who can live well without complicated and dynamic games. The vendor positioned this piece of electronics as business-class device. Well it can be regarded as such since MS Office 2007 and other office applications work just fine but from my experience I can tell that IEEE 1394 port is rarely needed in the office. More often it is used at home to download the content of camcorder to HDD. In addition it perfectly handles interesting yet a bit outdated games like Wolfenshtein and Rise of Nation.

Muhammad is a Muslim prophet (570 - 632/633 A.D.). One of the heroes of the Muslim word prophet Muhammad originated from the city of Mecca. However, for various reasons he had to leave his Fatherland. Soon he settled in the neighboring Medina and grounded there the first house of worship - a mosque.

From there the prophet began to preach about unification of all Arabs, both townspeople and Bedouins, into one Muslim community. The number of Muhammad’s followers was rapidly increasing, and soon he became the actual ruler of Medina which competed with Mecca in the Arabia not only in the trade business.

Pretty soon a real war began between Medina and Mecca. At first, only ill luck pursued Muhammad’s warriors. He only had success at Badr when he with a small group attacked a large trade caravan of Meccans which was making its way through the Arabia from the North. The caravan’s guard was headed by Abu Sufyan, a famous commander from the lineage of Omayad. The Medina warriors’ attack was so drastic and sudden that the outmanning Quraysh caravan guards had to escape into the sands.

Muhammad had only 313 warriors in that battle, while the merchant caravan’s guard consisted of 950 men. The prophet’s followers attacked the merchant caravan dismounted, holding shields in front of them. The guards attacked them mounted and, having lost about 50 men, disseminated all around, leaving almost as much men captured. The winners lost only 14 warriors. Muhammad ordered to detain one third of the goods won away from the Meccan merchants for God, his family, orphans, beggars and poor travelers, and the rest to divide between the warriors who had participated in the attack against the Quraysh merchant caravan - that was how members of the Arabia caravan track trade guard guild were called in Mecca.
