Who needs a TV when monitors are cheaper? |
| |
If you are interested in buying a new television but think it too expensive,
why not buy a used computer monitor instead, as it will be 35 percent
cheaper? A new 21-inch TV is available in the market for Rs 9,500-11,000,
but a used 21-inch monitor costs just Rs 5,000-5,500. Add a TV tuner, worth
Rs 1,000-1,400, and the cost pushes up to Rs 6,000-6,900, still far cheaper
than a television.

LETTERS TO EDITOR |

Media and elections
If our electronic and print media want to cover the national elections next
year in a truly professional manner - and they must if they are worth their
salt - they should start preparations right now. It will take them quite
some time to develop their own models for covering elections. In the
meantime, they should study how others are doing it.

Cut! |
| |
Sir: While surfing TV channels recently, I came across host Nadia Khan's
show who expressed her delight at being able to interview Pakistan's most
famous female director -a director so famous that I couldn't for the life of
me, even recall her name or her face! The next hour of the show was devoted
to praising our awful film industry, almost making it sound as if it was
better than both Hollywood and Bollywood put together.
