BTW it is recommended not to install an internal soundcard. It will be best to buy an external one as the environment in the computer is way too noisy for high res audio. USB/firewire connections are recommended too because it's a 2 way communication sys thereby the zero and ones in the digital signal can be synchronized.

OMG. They just rose prices over in Singapore again? I remember it was just around $33000 the last time I checked. Yeah... Singapore is getting kinda weird. Flamboyant economy.... makes you wonder who is benefiting.... people here are like the opposite of flamboyant... words to describe are dull, pretentious, cheap and unclassy... haha. Sorry just got

Oh black and white.... they are so generic that we need a new word for generic. The new colours remind me of candy and early childhood. The yellow ones make me think of banana milkshakes.
