2 weeks? 3 weeks? Still no computer at home...

I have no idea why it's taking so long for me to buy a new computer this time. But yeah, I am still going back to the office to go online these days. On the other hand, i think I am close to conceding that Dell probably won't have any promotion soon on their XPS systems and I will eventually have to make some changes to my plans.

Since there's no discount from Dell, I am going to scale back on the monitor and get a 20" wide-screen instead. And for my upcoming gaming need (Wii~~~~~~), I probably will go for my Sony Bravia. The price has dropped quite a bit since the last time i checked so it's not too unrealistic now. Regardless it's still a Sony so it carries a $1999 price tag with it. Just found out that a new XBR line is coming out this fall. Man, another unknown variable in the equation. I guess more wait and see on the TV situation.

The other question is the timing. I don't think I can fork out the 2K this year since I am planning to go back to HK this December. That means the next chance for me to get the TV will probably be when I can my tax refund. So what should I do for the time between this Fall and next spring? Um...

1. dell just announced news on getting rid of rebate.
2. are u waiting for tax refund? why don't you look at your w-4 and adjust the deduction appropriately? u know .. if you are waiting for a refund (large amount), you have giving uncle same $ without earning any interest.

Probably not a notebook from Dell coz if I were to get a notebook, it'll be a MacBook... hohohohoho~~~

Yeah, i know it's like lending to Uncle Sam, but the problem of adjusting my W4 is that I kinda like having a big chunk of money at once than smaller chunks - probably because I tend to spend it all. :P
