seems like blogger is also experiencing that slow internet speed!

anyway, i finally bought that card reader with a 3port usb hub. it was from the same shop i bought my 250gig hard disk. when i first asked how much it was, they told me it was P550. i thought back then it was a good price, considering most USB hubs cost more or less P600 in malls (4 port hubs), and branded ones cost around P350 in Gilmore. its like paying an additional P200 for the card reader (and i only need the SD, MMC and MS Duo card reader slots). so it wasnt that bad right? well, i didnt buy it yet because i didnt want to deplete my funds back then, i was still on christmas break and i might need the money for some other thing, and besides, it wasnt a necessity. so, i put buying the usb port/card reader on hold. come few weeks later, i went to the store, and fortunately, its still there, and well, the price dropped, nice! its only P500 flat! well, P50 isnt much but still, a price drop is a price drop. so it made me wonder, how come? seems like a good price, it might be one of those gadgets that dont last long. but it looks reliable. anyway, i decided to buy it, and thank God, im not that disappointed. the usb ports work, which are the ones i really need, and the card readers work, not with ease, but hey, still works, and thats what matters more. besides, it didnt cost much. im even charging my mp4 player right now! so i just hope this thing lasts, or at least not a waste of money.
