Weeks ago, I won in the bidding process for a Yamaha PSR-100 (portatone) in eBay.ph. When I contacted the seller of the item, it happened to be that they are looking for a company to host their business website. So I offered TurfSitePH.net and eventually getting the keyboard in exchange for a domain name and website hosting.

Today, Air21 finally delivered the item after two days of following it up from them.

PSR-100 is an old model synth (released in 1991, as stated here), but it was during its time when General MIDI (GM) was introduced. But, the true value of this musical instrument to me is the fact that this is my very first Yamaha machine. My very first electronic musical instrument was a Casio MT-45 (still have it in my closet — reserved for Robyn’s small fingers), then followed by several models of CTK’s, also from Casio. Then, was able to save up for a Behringer U Control UMX49 USB MIDI Controller Keyboard, after Rose bought me a CTK-45 three Christmas(es) ago.

Next in my wish list: a digital piano (portable or not) and/or a Roland synth.

Opera had just released version 9.50 of their browser product. They claim that this version of their browser is twice faster than Opera 9.2 in rendering JavaScript and HTML — thanks to a new browser engine. This version also comes with a built-in BitTorrent Download Manager (Opera, MMA students will love you with this one). But for me, the best feature that Opera made with this release is the Opera Link. What is Opera Link? It’s another product of Opera — enabling you to sync your bookmarks and speed dials (frequently visited sites) between your computer and mobile phone (Opera Mini).
