Burner or UPS?

Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Personal

I’m sorta in a dilemma now.. I’ve got limited cash, so I won’t wanna empty my bank accounts in a day (hey, I’m a poor student okay?).. so I was thinking ’bout what I should buy first: a DVD-Burner, either from BenQ or Sony.. or, a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply). Both devices cost me around RM 160.

Currently, I’m leaning towards a UPS, as it seems to rain every other day nowadays and the power might trip.. besides, it sucks when you’re doing some assignment when the power trips.. There’s also another reason: most people staying around my area claims that the quality of electricity here sucks.. sigh.. too bad TNB has monopolized the market.. haha.. a UPS would pretty much solve all those problems..

DVD burner? I’ll only use it to burn downloaded stuff for long-term keeping.. but it also got me thinking: if I’ve got several disks of movies/comedy/English serials, what are the chances that I’ll re-watch them? Pretty low huh? Well, for now, I guess I could shove everything into my spare 40 GB hard disk for now.. even though it’s a 3 year old Maxtor, it seems to be doing just fine..

    If I were you, purchasing a UPS is a must now. Since recently there’ll always be raining days with thunders/lightnings…finally electricity failure…It’s a pain if you are working in the middle of the assignment and then suddenly…”POP!!!” no electricity…
