Ah, if only it were so straightforward, things would be simple.

Very few things in reality are created by a single, simple, easily expressible thought. Most of the time, things in your reality have come about, as a result of the combination of many different thoughts.

To create your Fujitsu-Siemens computer, you must have thought many, many thoughts in the past. Some of those thoughts would be:

"Certain machines exist. They're called computers."
"Brands exist. Manufacturers make things and they have their own brand."
"Computers are useful. I could use them to do ___, ___ & ___."
"Siemens is a brand."
"Fujitsu is a brand."
"Sometimes manufacturers co-brand their products."
"I need a computer. I should buy one."
"I am going to the shopping mall now. I need to buy a computer."
"I need to ask the sales guy to recommend a computer."
"Oh, this one looks good. It's a Siemens-Fujitsu. I think I'll buy it."
"Where shall I put this computer? Ah, over here."
"I like surfing the Net."
"Steve Pavlina's blog sure is interesting."
"Hey he has a forum."
"They're talking about creating things in your own reality."
"I wanna ask these guys a question about reality. Like, what?"
"Ah, this computer that I'm using now. It's in my reality. Right? I'll ask them how it got here."

It got into your reality, due to many different thoughts that you've had in your life, such as your knowledge that computers exist; your desire to have one; your decision to purchase one etc etc.

Someone living in a very remote part of Africa may never have seen a computer, let alone heard of Fujitsu-Siemens. Therefore he probably has not thought enough thoughts that would lead to a Fujitsu-Siemen computer manifesting in his reality. He may not even know the concept of electricity and electrical appliances.

Remember - your complete reality today is the result of the sum total of all your thoughts in this life.

Buddhists would add - "... and in your past lives too".
