Buying Things and Planning On Buying Things
well, i gave myself two early christmas presents. the good thing is that i think i can write both of them off as a business expense. the first thing that came in the mail was my new video card which now enables me to do dual monitor action with my computing experience. its awesome to be able to double my desktop real estate for added effeciency. no more applications hiding behind applications. SWEET! the other present is my new DVD player that i picked up today. since last week’s post, my old DVD player’s peformance progressively deteriorated as the time went by. the menu functionality (on the remote and the player itself) failed to work after 60mins or so decreasing to about 30mins. i would have to shut it down and wait till it cooled down for this to work again. also the video brightness would dim about 50%. i would have to play with the on screen display a bit to have the brightness return to normal. this behavior was definitely unacceptable, so i replaced it today. the business expense is that i develop DVDs as one of my design services and my old one doesn’t support DVD-R media. so my new DVD is a necessary equipment to check finished DVDs before delivering to a client. double SWEET!
