Shopping Spree

We went shopping over the weekend.

I was mostly looking for a small bag for my new laptop, which is not an easy task. The laptop is too big for cases made for 12-inchers, and too small for the ones made for 15-inchers.

On Friday, we stopped by Staples and CompUSA. I couldn't find anything even close. Vik suggested trying a luggage store at the mall. No much luck there either. Not everything was lost though, Vik did find some nice lingerie.

On Sunday, I went to Costco, and picked up a SanDisk 512MB Memory Stick Pro which I am now using to transfer files between my desktop and laptop. I've created a briefcase on the stick to facilitate synchronization.

Later in the afternoon, we stopped by Fry's. I bought a mediaGear 8 in 4 flash memory reader/writer, since my old card reader doesn't support the Memory Stick Pro format.

We also grabbed a new Uniden TRU-8860 5.8GHz Cordless Phone System. Vik was getting tired of our 2.4GHz handsets interfering with WiFi connectivity.

Finally, yesterday, we went to Office Depot and found a Targus CVR600 Groove Backpack that will do the trick. It's a lot bigger than what I was really looking for, but is also extremely light. It'll have to do for now.

I also received and installed (2 screws!) the extra memory I purchased from eWiz. Once again, they offered the best price around.

Vik also just ordered an Iogear GBP201 USB Print Adapter w/ Bluetooth, as well as a Samsonite Ultima Tote for her laptop.
