Mar. 16th, 2005 10:59 pmone of us has a brand new DVD burner.
a brand new DVD burner that burned a DVD in six minutes. SIX MINUTES!!!!! you know, i remember when i got my first cd burner, and it took 22 minutes to burn a cd, and you were happy about it.
The new burner can burn a cd at something like 52x. LaCie ownzzors my soul. and once again with the 'just plug it in and it works' business. god, i love this ibook.
and moreover, it turns out that my DVD player (which i bought after about five minutes of thought because it was $35) not only plays VCDs and all sorts of other weird things, it's also non-regional. which means i can play DVDs from any country. I think you all know where this is going.

Date: 2005-03-17 04:55 am (UTC)My mother got me a DVD player for christmas, and I haven't had the heart to tell her that really, I wish she hadn't, because it isn't regionless and I was waiting to get a regionless one for myself.
As for the burner, if you here any gratuitous "Oooo"-ing and "Ahhh"-ing, that's me.
you made me CRY
Date: 2005-03-17 12:43 pm (UTC)I spent $500 on my all-region player and I had to have it shipped from the US and customs charged me an EXTRA 50$ for importing it. (err.. granted, that was in 2000 or so, but that's not the point, now is it?)
Congratulations on your good fortune though. ^^
