As Vin put it so succinctly in the comment section of the previous post, D-Day is close and I tend to ramble. Then again my options are rather limited. Time is of essence so I don't want to hop into my car and drive around town for a couple of hours. This also rules out shopping, which seems to work for some people in times of severe stress. Right now I can't even think anything I want and can afford.
Strangely most of my material wishlist is done, the few that remain are in the pipeline (wall charger for my ipod) or can never be (trip to the mauritius, perhaps?) But the ones in the middle, in no-gadget-land, in the limbo so to speak are the interesting ones.
I decided that if all goes well I'd go in for a gadget makeover by the end of the year to coincide with my possible entry into the halls of Neurosurgery.
I need a new phone. Simply because I don't want to have to carry a camera around and someone I know blogs from the phone. Take a picture, type a caption, upload to Blogger. How cool is that?
Of course he uses a k790i which a camera that you can make calls on. Me? I just want a 2 megapixel with an mp3 player. Why an mp3 player when I have an ipod? Well since it's not a good idea to carry around an ipod all the time. Which narrows my search down to two phones. The k750i (new and improved with expandable memory and a 2M camera) or the w810i (will have to deal with the orange though. That colour plagues me. First it was Hutch {which is now pink} and now the phone of my dreams). It turns out that the 750i has, keep a straight face here, joystick trouble. And the cost to expanding the memory to what the 810 has (512 MB, that's a 120 songs at 128 kbps MP3/AAC at 4 minutes a song) would even the playing field.
Not that I'm ever going to actually get down to buying either but the quandry is a welcome change from deciding which the best surgery for piles or cleft lip (depending on your preference) is.
The next on the makeover special is a laptop. This stems from the idea that if one has an ipod and a cool phone and is perhaps far away from a desktop, then one requires a laptop. Many years ago satyam computers came out with t shirts that asked in bright orange rubberized print - "Will you be my laptop?" If it weren't for the fact that most wearers and readers of the t shirt were still coming to terms with getting down from the trees, we'd have had civil war.
Digression aside, here's what I need - 512MB RAM, 100GB HD, at least a combo drive that'll let me burn CDs and read DVDs - a DVD writer is obviously better, Bluetooth preferably but one can always dongle the dongle, so which would that be?
The point of all the rambling and meandering is simple -distraction. So be kind and bear with me.
Addendum : I'm getting too many googlesyndication pages that havent showed up before in my browser history. Why?
