Polyvision Television


I went with my entire family to Glodok Plaza to buy a television to replace our old Nordmende 14 inch television. There was a lot of type and brand, but we choose this Polyvision 21 inch television, a brand from Polytron Group. The price is cheap for 21 inch television with sub-woofer, stereo surround sound, picture in picture, NICAM/Zweiton multi sytem, and Teletext facilities, only 1.5 million Rupiah, while other brands were prices above 2 million.

Sub-Woofer

This TV has build-in Sub-Woofer speaker on its back cassis, two speakers that mounted in the side direction with air hole that directed to the top. These speakers can produce big bass sound that spreading to the entire room. But you can set the bass level to high because this sub-woofer speaker box made from plastic that will make a vibrating noise.

Picture-in-picture

I like this facility because I can see other channel in small screen, without disturbing the program that I watch. I can switch the program between big screen and small screen in one click using remote control. Nowadays you will difficult to find a 21 inch television with picture-in-picture facility, usually you can find it on big screen TV such as projection TV or widescreen LCD/Plasma TV.

Now this TV is more than ten years old age, and had been repaired several times, but I don’t want to replace it with the new one, because I need this picture-in-picture facility.

Microsoft Wired Desktop 500 Keyboard + Mouse



Wow this is the first branded Keyboard I ever bought, this is a Microsoft product that bundled a keyboard with an optical mouse, all of them are wired with cable, the keyboard has PS/2 connector and the mouse has USB connector with USB to PS/2 adapter.

I need some adaptation to use this keyboard, because there are several keypad layout that different from standard keyboard, the home, insert, delete, end, page up and page down button are in vertical layout that make me always press the wrong button in this area.
And the keypad letter is too small and in grey color that make the user difficult to see in dark.

This is spill resistant keyboard, but I'm too afraid try to spill a glass of water on this keyboard, maybe the claim is true because I see some hole on the bottom of keyboard.

But I like to use this keyboard, the keypad is soft and quite, and the Microsoft branded name is make my proud to show off to my friends.

Olympus FE-110 Digital Camera


Just smile and say "cheese," your picture will produce instantly, that what I like with this digital technology, you no need to go to Photo Lab to produce your film.
This Olympus FE-110 Digital Camera is simple and easy to use, but this is not my mine, this belong to my cousin, and I even to borrow it because I don’t have this device yet, it is still expensive for me.
This camera has 5.0 Mega pixels, and has 2.8x optical zoom, plus 4x Digital Zoom, the zoom quality is good and can make great detail picture without blur, even if you zoom it again using picture processor software on your computer.
This camera can attach to Television; you can see slideshow of your photo on the television.
The size is little bit fat and look to small in my hand, I called chubby and weird look camera.
