電子辞書
Some of you might recall that I have two electronic dictionaries, both of which I picked up by way of working in the computer labs and having access to the lost and found, from which we are allowed to claim stuff if after one quarter of school has passed.
One is pretty cool and has all kinds of features, but I think it got left behind because the keys don't work quite perfectly, so you sometimes press a button and it doesn't register. It's frustrating for me, but this is the dictionary I usually carry.
The other is super-old and is from, like, the year 2001, maybe earlier. In any case, the thing is... venerable. But! The keys all work very nicely. Its screen is lower resolution, and it has very few dictionaries in it, but for the most part it works just fine.
I sold off my more advanced one to Bryden, who has been looking to buy one, for 一万円 (~$95). It was convenient, since I've been planning to sell one of them for quite a while. I mean, there's little point in having the two of them, except as a redundancy. If I had two that had fairly separate functions, that would make sense, but they don't, really.
Woot for liquidating assets.

Oh, well glad for some funds for you. For some reason, I thought one of yours was from your parents or something, but I guess not.
Nope. I essentially got a $600 bonus for working in the labs.
Nice, that. Very cool.
His parents are cheap...
(on his mom's side at least, that's what I hear.) :-)
Yay for $600 bonuses
LOL, fishbulb... :)
I thought you had a dictionary on the DS. Did I dream that?
I do have a dictionary for the DS, but it's nowhere near as extensive as that of a dedicated unit. The DS's advantage is that it allows you to draw the kanji on-screen. Getting the same kind of functionality in a dedicated thing requires very good luck or a willingness to spend about $300.
