I Get Carried Away
There must be something with small things that fancy me a lot. I’ve been trying to figure what it might be but the reason that I can come out with is that small things are cute and apparently easy to carry around. It would lead me to buy unnecessarily whenever I see something that attracts me and when I can’t get my eyes off it. Yeah, call me a weirdo but it’s where I can treat myself with once in a while. Collecting small items is a habit I can’t get rid of. Sadly, I cannot collect all small things that I fancy but I can be satisfied by just looking yet not sob myself to sleep afterwards. One of the hard-to-collect things no matter how small it is must be this handy Sony Vaio P-series.
Sony Vaio VPCP11 - one of the P-series
I saw in the newspaper today a netbook but not a Sony Vaio that reminded me of the post I wrote long ago. I told hubby that the netbook resembled the one in my post but I found out later that it was not. Hubby was wondering about that Sony Vaio VGN he wanted to have and waited for the price to go down a bit but he’d not read nor heard of it after the campaign sale. I did him a favor and checked the site but that series is nowhere to be found. Instead, I got carried away with another series that seemed to have more finesse than the ones before.

This Little Thing
Sony Vaio VGN-P11z Netbook
Here comes another little thing this time from Sony Vaio’s product row of netbooks. When I saw this in my catalogue I thought it was that HP Vivienne Tan so my glance just ran on it with haste. But when it was hubby’s turn to see the catalogue, he strangely said, “Älskling, it’s too bad we bought that Lenovo.” I didn’t know what he meant so I looked at that page of the catalogue where his eyes were focusing and at that moment I saw it was Sony Vaio. “Oh, my!” And I asked him if it’s real. Then like a child, he murmured the words, “I want this. And I want the red one.” I wasn’t sure if he meant what he said or just teasing me and said those words before I could, hahaa! But when he went to the computer and check for more details of Sony Vaio P11Z, I knew right there and then he would want this little thing. And why on earth he wanted the red one, I had no idea. The truth is, I like this, too. And I woudn’t mind if he gets one. But that might be way too far from reality cos when we checked the price, it’s tripple that of Lenovo and HP. It even costs a little bit more than the camera we recently bought. Hayyy!
It’s said to be the world’s lightest netbook with its 638 grams weight. But the specs are as robust as those heavy-weight netbooks.

From Vista to XP to Vista Again
It has been about two weeks now since hubby started fixing our laptop. It was working fine before he took it on the bed when suddenly the Internet stopped working and it didn’t reconnect for some reasons. That’s what he got for being envious of me blogging while lying in bed. That day was supposed to be a complete day of rest for both of us but we ended up having each one’s laptop in the bedroom. Try to imagine a lying position with a laptop and describe the rest.
I must admit I am living with a compulsive computer nerd among the nerds on earth. Annoyed by the laptop’s obscure defect, he got up and as compulsive as he is, he ordered online a HD to replace the one in the machine. That machine has the built-in Vista Business when we bought it then he decided to install XP instead. He said he didn’t like Vista as much as XP though. Huh! Think about when Windows Vista was to be realeased, I remember he even did a countdown as to when so he could purchase it the moment it would be out. He did purchase as expected and again, as compulsive as he is, he bought the one with the 64-bit system. He installed it on my PC and guess what – not all programs were compatible with that version that time. Although he managed to fixed it to run on 32-bit browser, he didn’t like the way it should be. So after running it for a couple of months, he shifted back to Win XP while the other was packed back.
Back to the laptop, he installed XP on it and thought it would work the way he wanted. It took so much time to install it because of the Service Pack updates but once he’d done, he noticed that the built-in bluetooth and fingerprint recognition didn’t work. He wanted so much the bluetooth functionality for the mouse to keep the usb-port. His dissatisfaction led him to reinstall Vista. The network system caused some problems so he reformatted the disk and reinstall Vista again. Finally, everything seems working fine now. Though some programs need to be installed. He mentioned about the upcoming Windows 7 and I know exactly what he’s up to next.
