Gadget Shopping

So, I have a mini-assignment while here to upgrade my cousins computers, and transfer some of my mom's videos to DVDs so we can watch them. Been going pretty well actually, but neede some addition supplies. First off, service in India is soo relaxed. Hung out in some computer store managers waited on by like 3 people for 30 minutes. When I went to the cell phone store, 4 folks helped me, and a fifth went off running to copy my license down the street (BTW, I've disabled my intl roaming and switched to an Indian #, 011 91 9830542988 from the US for calling or SMSing). Then we hit this big market / shopping area for electronics / computer stuff. Amazing. Bought screws, cables, from kids selling on the street. Very odd.
Anyway, now that I am reachable more easily, I'm gonna try wandering around a bit more, despite the panicky family. Heading into the city tomorrow to see what I can discover.
