-- PC Fair Aug's catch

It's big time software purchase this time round. Got news from lowyat.net (Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 Now More Affordable) that... yeah, basically what the article title says.

Office 2007 Home and Student Edition

• Old price - RM499
• New permanently marked down price - RM279
• Discounted price for Aug and Sept - RM199
• 1st hundred price for PC Fair- RM99
• Comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote 2007
• License to install up to 3 PCs
  

By not going to Friday's PC Fair, i officially kiss the 1st hundred price goodbye, so i got it for RM199 instead. Still, I saw others snap up a few of them together.
So... this is a good chance to own original Office (2007 at that!) at an affordable price, unless your uni offers it at a lower student price.



Other than that, got an el cheapo Logitech wired mouse (with frickin' laser!) at Rm38 (for gaming and just-in-case Bluetooth doesn't work cases) and a MicroSD card reader that you can get for FREE from the Intel booth by answering a simple question (worth RM19 from what i saw at the lower Halls).

Other than Jensen, Richard (from KTAR times and also UTAR currently) is also working, as Intel's bunny suit man holding a Core 2 Duo processor.



That's the core of your C2D, underneath the grey colored heat spreader.



Very cool...

And sorry, no pic of Ric in the suit, he'd kill me for that. And no hot chicks' pic too. You can get that from lowyat.net forums. Instead you get to look at KLCC ballroom's marvellous lighting.



Ric took it.
