William Rosario, a nurse and has been in Dubai for three years, is one of the lucky winners of Acer Aspire One, said: "I always shop at Jacky's Electronics, and I look forward every Gitex for the company's exciting raffle draws. This year, I have bought an N81 Nokia mobile. I didn't expect to win but is very happy to get the Acer Aspire One netbook."
