You can find tons of stuff on the Internet by googling rain water collection, rainwater harvesting, etc. Here are some useful links. Watch the UTube series from Texas A&M Extension agent Billy Kniffen. He just happened to go to HS with us, never put more than two words together in that time. Now he presents seminars all the US and talks for days at a time about rain harvesting. http://www.youtube.com/user/TexasRWH This is a good manual published by the state of Texas. http://www.twdb.state.tx.us/publications/reports/RainwaterHarvestingManual_3rdedition.pdf This is from a commercial provider. http://www.watercache.com/education/rainwater/ The picture is not our tank. This is a neighbor's 20kgallon tank but ours looks like this. The big plastic looking tanks probably are not spec'ed for drinking water. But of course one can harvest rain water for other reasons than using it for your water system. I would also add a word of caution. If you don't want to be actively involved in your water system, it's not for you. We have to clean the filter to the tank after each rain. We have to clean our filters and will at some point have to replace the UV light. Some filters have to be replaced several times a year. You become the city water system for your home. It's not a lot of work, or hard work, but if you don't do it, it hurts your family. If your gutters catch a lot of debris, you would need to screen them or be ready to have a first wash system and tend to that. Other terms to google: UV light water purification, filters for rainwater collection,

Mine is an Acer Aspire/R7-571/R7-572. I tried to pull it up on Acer's site and Best Buy where I bought it but can't find it. It shows up on the top...on the site I posted, but only for a minute or two with no info, just shown folding it. I can't seem to pull it up on their site so maybe they have a new model now. It has an Acer converter port (?), an HDMI port, usb port with off charging, usb port, headphone speaker jack, on the left side. On the other side an SD reader, another usb port, DC-in jack and kensinton lock slot. It also has another one that looks like the reader port, but doesn't open. Sorry I don't know the terminology, it doesn't list hard drive. Maybe memory?? The external CD drive I bought, does not do movies, I would have buy something costing $79 and I haven't done that yet. On the site I posted click on accessories and there is a photo of it with an ad for a sleeve. Here is a link that might be useful: Acer This post was edited by EmmaR on Mon, Apr 7, 14 at 17:25
