I decided to buy Typinator today. 19.99 Euros. Whatever. It’s so much better for me than TextExpander (see earlier posts) that it’s any easy choice. I haven’t run into anything in Typinator yet that I would improve. Nor have I thought of anything yet, in regular daily use, that Typinator is missing. Wow. And software is my field so I usually have something I want improved after even just a little use.
Creative I-Trigue 200 speakers
I picked up a pair of these at Circuit City for $20 today. Then I saw them at Target for $40. When I got home I found them for $35.63 at Amazon.com. So I got a great price for them.
They sound pretty good. I have one on each side of my 24″ Gateway LCD. The stereo separation is nice. Somehow, the sound feels like it’s coming fright out of my monitor — dead center. So I’m pleased.
Now I won’t be limited to the weak volume of my MacBook Pro speakers.
