Things just got worse!
Well, just received an sms from the PB that the Road Line cuts into the property. I don't know what to do now. This is the most wretched week of the year and to double up, I am suffering again from gastris/stomach flu. My abdomen is acting up and it's very painful since yesterday afternoon.
At least yesterday I went to the IT Fair....
I went with Amithyst to go browse. We both unanimously agreed that the IT Fair is just a BIG Pasar Malam (or Pasar Siam if you go in the day) with sales and freebies to entice you to part with your money. There isn't really any cutting edge technology or new products to go Ga-Ga at.
We even spotted "health equipment" and I don't think they were IT related? Sigh.
Anyway main floors are Level 4 and Level 6 as Level 3 is just some console booth. Check out the Nintendo Booth (Gals) as it's quite cute :)
I was looking to purchase a 19" LCD monitor. I think generally prices have gone down alot from the time I bought my 15" monitor.
The various booths are flashing their 8ms screens and especially boasting about their 4ms panels to my delight (lol) So far, the fastest refresh rate I had seen is Viewsonic's 2ms. I am not so sure whether my (naked) eyes can tell the difference so maybe the techies could just leave a comment :)
In the end we didn't buy anything. Amithyst was looking for a printer trade-in offer so that he could upgrade to a All-in-One but we couldn't find any. Instead we were tempted/enticed by the cheap SLRs from Fuji!
Actually what I really need now is a new HDD or maybe a total upgrade to my computer. My computer is close to 4 (or 5 years old?) AMD XP2000 with 30gb HDD. My free space in HDD is like a measley 3gb+. Sad :(
