鷹揚空

  I believe that many people had heard the title before. Before today, the sentence is just a saying；it does not have too much meaning for me. It is just a saying for me TODAY BEFORE.

  To tell the story, I have to mention my MP3. I lost my MP3 about a month ago, and I decided to buy a new one before I found it in my classroom. The good news is, I don't need to buy a new one；the bad new is, my MP3 had come back, but my earphones had not. They escaped from my world forever...

  So my MP3 lost both of his partners-the earphones and the USB line, which was disappeared before I lost my MP3. I have to find another partners for it.  This did give me a problem；since the heads of the earphones and the USB line have to match the sockets on the MP3, how do I make sure that the products selled in the stores will match my MP3?

  Unfortunately, the introductions leaflet of my MP3 does not mention about the standards of earphones and USB. So I decided to look for informations from the Internet. Finally I confirmed the standard, then I typed the information on the shopping website to estimate the price. I suprisely found  that the price is from $10 to $120, with different line lengths and other fantastic use. So, I decided to go to downtown and check the prices in the famous stores which sell the related products of electric products. I checked three store, the price of the USB line is about $50 to $80.

  ...The difference of the prices is very easy to compare. Before taking the bus to go back to school, I go to the Stepping Stone bookstore to look for other supplies, and I found the USB product was sold at $39. It is just the same one which is sold in the store I had visited before. The merchanise in the bookstore is cheaper than in the speciality store, could you believe that ?

  This is the end of the story...I decide to order an USB line from the e-shopping store for it is cheaper. What about my earphones? Well, I had bought a second hand earphones from classmates, only $10. Just cost me a penny.
