The Magic Image

I had decided on this particular make and model of television for a 2nd TV in our home, mainly servicing the “Cave” for MySKy HDi and Nintendo Wii and maybe the occasional DVD. Its a place I can go when watching the boys are watching the rugby. I can recline on the double bed in the sun and watch this television.

Harvey Norman’s (HN) were having an LCD Clearence sale and had the above television for $1088 at Manukau and $1188 at Pukekohe. Not sure of why there is the $100 difference, but I took this photo at DSE Powerhouse Manukau. I’m not the only person to have found a difference.

Using this photo on my cellphone, I showed to it the salesman at HN Pukekohe. They had to ask their supervisors permission to sell that TV to me, BELOW COST.

So do I have the TV now, yes. How much did I pay? $879.00. Where did I buy it from? Harvey Norman Pukekohe.

Last night just after midnight, I turned my Compaq/Linux box off and headed to bed. This morning, keen to get back into using it, I went to boot it up – Boot Failure. But I installed it on the HDD, back to the drawing board. Will find an answer and do a work out on the Wii Fit while it installs or whatever.

I know, two posts in one day, what are the chances. I thought now that I have installed Linux Mint on the Compaq, I would let everyone know so that no one comments telling me how. Like anyone reads this anyway, but it is installed, and I am installing downloaded updates as I type. I let these download while I embraced the Wii Fit for the first time today.

Here is my desktop screenshot to show you my progress. Nothing impressive, but yay!
