When I lived in HK (I moved back to Canada 12 years ago) you could get a visa 
to Shenzhen at the border.  It was only valid for Shenzhen, but it only took 
about 15-20 minutes.  You might check to see if they still do that.

Otherwise, head to Sham Shui Po, Apliu Street is the local electronics haven.  
There are street stalls that sell used electronics and other things, you might 
find something interesting there.  The regular electronics stores are fun to 
poke around.  On the other side of the MTR station is the Golden Arcade, which 
is the best place for computer shopping in HK.  Sham Shui Po is easy to get to 
by MTR, get an Octopus card it will save you money, you can buy them at the 
airport.  

Sham Shui Po is one of the areas that is yet to be destroyed by maniac urban 
renewal, so it's an interesting area to walk around and get some feel for older 
parts of HK.  Save an afternoon for it.

Subject: Re: In Hong Kong any old computing places to go?

Thanks everyone for the ideas, however I cannot leave Hong Kong and enter 
China.  That requires a different visa that I didn't obtain and I don't have 
the time to travel that far.
