Maybe it was because I spent much time keeping myself busy in the office as there were too many things to get sorted out. We had vulnerability issues that needed taking care of, as well as the formulation of new processes to get things going smoothly for the first time.
I am also still in my 'real-estate agent' mode, spending hours and hours scouring the net for property and mortgage tips as well as reading the the predictions on the future outlook of the world's economy. The Star yesterday carried some news on the properties market which wasn't really comforting, especially with the interest rates going up and all.
I then stumbled across a good piece of writing from George Soros that talked about the current US economic crisis which has been coming for some time now. As I understand from it, the greenback has really lost much of its desirability, which explains why it is hovering around the RM3.15 - 3.16 mark lately.
That however is great for me cause I'll be shopping on my business visit to my company's HQ in Michigan come summer!
My main target is the Dell's XPS 210 which would fit nicely behind my 24" WFP2407 while looking sleek at the same time. Another one of my target buys would be the Dell Bluetooth Media Combo which would make my rig wireless and as clutter-free as possible.
I am currently using a Belkin wireless router which would also allow me to network the would be PC without extra cables. The thing about WiFi routers though is the fact that you still need to plug in the phone cables as well as the power adapter which means hanging it on the wall would disclose all the cables, thus making the appearance somewhat unflattering.
Oh, there's one other thing I might be tempted to get on eBay and that is the rarely heard of (well, at least in Malaysia that is!) Dell All-in-One LCD monitor stand:
Unfortunately, this model is known to only support the 17" and 19" LCD monitors, so if it doesn't fit my 24 incher, I'd be happy to let it go at eBay.
I understand that Dell are not offering it's full catalogue of products here as Malaysians only has a limited level of purchasing power. But that really starves us of their most innovative and practical accessories plus add-ons which would increase Dell's desirability level.
Just like upgrading cars, consumers would like to feel that they have a customized product, although the assembly line back at the plant churns millions of the same type of thing everyday.
The Customer is always King, I heard!
