Bargain?

Yesterday I got myself a new MP4 player with a 1 megapixel videocam for only P880. The unit is supposed to be made in Japan. Supposed to be, but the price is not. For its price, its features are rather superb. It can take pictures, videos, play MP3 music, MP4 videoclips, record audio materials, do slide shows and even interphase with a TV set for picture and video viewing. It has its own mini speaker on board. With its internal 1 gigabyte memory it could store some 1000 or so photos which can be downloaded to a computer or even printed in a photo studio. I even bought an extra secure digital (SD) card (2GB) to make room for large video files. The icons in its menu are even animated and it has many of the regular functions of the more expensive digital cameras or videocams. I thought the whole deal was perfect - until I got home to install the softwares on my PC. I found out that the software was rather outdated, to say it kindly. Perhaps a better or more appropriate word is Jurassic because it only works with Windows 98! The operating system (OS) on my PC is Windows Vista and I have an XP on my laptop. I remember that the last time I used 98 was some years ago. That's what I get for going for a bargain that is supposed to be "Made in Japan".
