What I Bought At The PIKOM PC Fair

I don’t usually buy stuff at the huge PC fairs – whether its Microfest or the PIKOM one, I only browse through on the first day (when the crowd is not so gila yet) to check out the latest gadgets and models available on offer.

Actually, for some reasons, I’m more partial to Microfest than PC Fair, probably I’ve been used to go to Microfest in the early years, when they used to have it at the PJ Civic Centre (and they had those free movie screenings and game competitions).

But anyway, I bought something at the PC Fair last weekend. I didn’t actually GO to the fair at the KL Convention Centre, but I my friend got it for me, he was working with one of the exhibitors. It’s a DVD writer, LG GSA-E10N. The official product description on the box is “16x External Super Multi DVD/CD Rewriter” (Why Super Multi? Is there another version called Normal Uni? Anyway, I digress.) I’ve been looking at DVD writers for some time now, so I finally decided the time was right to get it. (My notebook harddisk being full to the brim being another reason).

Speaking about the PC Fair, I was at the KLCC LRT station on Saturday night, it was jam packed to the brim with people, man. Most of them were folks came from the PC Fair, judging from the bags and bags computer paraphernalia they were carrying. This Malay guy and his girlfriend were actually lugging the parts for a complete PC (including mouse and keyboard) onto the train.

Now that I’ve DVD writer already, I can start dreaming about buying a new kick ass notebook…
