Office for Mac 2008
initially but launches pretty quick on the succeeding start. Even
though I have iWork 08 installed, I still use a lot of MS Office. For
one, Excel is still unbeatable in the worksheet category. But I must
admit that Numbers produces one nice work area. I still have to find
the best way in it to replace Excel. Overall, I like having both on
my notebook pc.

Asus rolls out Eee PC in Japan, Windows XP standard
Engadget
It's taken a while, but it looks like folks in Japan can now finally get their hands on Asus's diminutive and eminently-hackable Eee PC, although not exactly the same models we have 'round these parts. Dubbed the Eee PC 4G-X, the Japan-centric laptop is apparently identical to the regular 4G model, with the notable exception that it now comes pre-loaded with Windows XP Home Edition as standard instead of the usual Linux OS. That, of course, takes up a hefty chunk of the 4GB of internal storage, so Asus has thoughtfully 4GB SDHC card with the laptop as well. Look for it to be available in your choice of black or white for ¥50,000 (or about $468), with free access to NTT's WiFine hotspot network thrown in for good measure.

Bayan Wireless Landline
need is a Manila number here in Cavite. You see, whenever I call any
Metro Manila number, it's already considered a long distance call.
With this service from Bayantel, I now can call anyone from Manila
for just P3/call and they can call me without the long distance charges.
I don't have any plans to discontinue my Globelines account though.
I got the wireless landline phone ACBEL AX320, they don't have the
ZTE handset (looks better than the ACBEL) available for the Prepaid
option. Funny thing was, on my way home from Quezon city, the phone
was beside me all the time, checking for the signal deviations. I was
so happy to see full bars of signal along Aguinaldo highway. But was
slightly disappointed to get only a couple of bars inside out house.
But good enough, to get three bars in the bed room near the window.
Though I get full bars in the carport.
The phone kit comes loaded with P90 worth of load (around 30 calls)
good for 7 days, and a P100 prepaid card good for 10 days.
I will test it tomorrow by trying to call it during my overnight duty
in the hospital.
