I am a Compaq Man!

Yes, after months of hardcore deliberations and budgetary blues, I finally made the choice - a Compaq Presario Desktop.

Man, it was so hard to decide whether to opt for a Assembled PC or go in for a branded one. Even in the branded PC market, there's the MNC and the MNC Quality, Indian priced ones....

Though assembled PCs costs much lower and comes with a lot of goodies, my instinct and common sense pushed me towards a branded one.

For those teck geeks, here's the spec of the system:
Intel P IV 2.93 Ghz
256 MB RAM
40 GB HDD
DVD/CD-ROM Combo
Original Windox XP Home OS
56-K Internal Modem
!JBL Speakers
17" Monitor..
1.44 MB Floppy drive

All these for a whoppy 37,500/-!!

And what am I doing with this new found wisdom? Play play and harder play!! Already finished NFS 6, F1 '99-02 Season, James Bond 007, Splinter Cell, Spider Man etc. etc...

Any suggestions or CDs are welcome!
Did I choose the right PC?

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
