My New Toys

Today after my mammogram appointment at the hospital, I stopped by at Best Buy. At the hospital I saw the lady at the counter using a large mouse with a large trackball. I thought it looked very ergonomic. That was the reason for stopping at Best Buy. To get a mouse with a large track ball.

But of course, I suddenly remembered that I needed speakers for my new computer. I saw some good speakers, even some 2.1 surround sound for under $60. Eh, too many wires and occupy too much space! Ok, then I saw this one piece speaker that could fit right under your flat panel monitor, for under $100. Looks good, eh, I thought, but the price! Guess which one I finally chose? Yes! The more expensive one! Heheh.

Then with a boxed mouse in one hand and a boxed speaker under the other arm, I walked over to the TV section. I practically drooled over the wide screen flat panels! But I wanted to check the small flat panels, say the 15 inch flat panel? I saw a few, Samsung, Sharp, Westinghouse, a few others and the Insignia on sale for only $199.99!! That's the same price as the Polaroid that I saw at Walmart last week. A sales assistant came to see if I needed help. Sure, I had a few questions, and after a short conversation, I told him, ok can you please help me bring one TV to the check out counter? All in all, a very short and productive stop at Best Buy!

15" LCD HD TV, Logitech mouse with large track ball, Altec Lansing computer speakers.

This is how a multi-tasker's desk look like!

I discovered that I was able to access the HD channels on TV! I never knew that there were two or three channels to the the regular channel. For example, Channel 6-0, 6-1, 6-2! All I had connected to the TV was the rabbit ears antenna. A pleasant surprise indeed!
