Stuff of dreams

Went to the PC Fair, spent three hours there and all I had to show for it were two back issues of Stuff magazine! Not that there weren't any bargains.

Tempting: a Canon all-in-one printer for RM299 (normal price (RM338)

didn't get it because: it started to pour and I'm not about to lug it all the way across town in a crowded LRT just to save RM37.

Tempting: a 2-gigabyte pendrive/thumb-drive from this company called, what else, Pendrive for RM200

didn't get it because: I already have two thumb-drives which I can hardly fill up anyway.

Tempting: a 50-piece CD-R cakebox for only RM29 from Imation

didn't get it because: I still have about 30 pieces at home.

Tempting: a DVD-RW external burner for, gosh, only RM450.

didn't get it because: my CD burner serves me well for my purposes -- burning songs and storing pictures -- and I don't have extra cash to splurge.

Tempting: those lovely 17-inch and 19-inch LCD monitors

didn't get them because: no money-leh!

So sigh, I only got these two gadget magazines which, you will have to agree, I just must buy as they are only a couple of months old and only cost RM2.50 each (normal retail price: RM9)
