It’s finally here. Windows 7. If you’ve been waiting to get your hands on what’s being called a significant improvement over Vista, Amazon’s the place to get it.
And if you’ve been waiting to buy a new PC until you could get one without Vista, wait no longer:
“Windows 7 is a different story. It keeps what’s good about Windows Vista, like security, stability and generous eye candy, and addresses much of what people disliked. … Best of all, Windows 7 represents a departure from Microsoft’s usual “success is measured by the length of the feature list” philosophy. This time around, it was, “Polish, optimize and streamline what we’ve already got.”
- David Pogue, The New York Times
I’m excited – like everyone, I have never liked Vista and I am looking forward to upgrading to Windows 7.

A new low price for the Wii video game console from Nintendo has recently been announced! On September 27, 2009, Nintendo released the news that the price for the Wii console was dropped from the original $249.99 to only $199.99.
from Amazon.com…
Nintendo’s Wii video game system (pronounced “we”) brings people of all ages and video game experience together to play. This simple yet ground breaking idea is expressed not only though the system’s evocative name, which is easily pronounced in a variety of languages, and suggests two players side by side, but also through its innovative list of features and extensive list of playable titles.
Buy it at amazon to take advantage of the new, low price.
I’ve written about Lending Club a few times before:
So what’s new? Other than being a solid alternative market for your money, Lending Club has a contest going: the 25,000th registered Lending Club investor will receive $2,500 cash! They expect that to happen some time in September, so the sooner you sign up, the better. How to enter:
- Open a free Lending Club Account before the end of September
- Actually complete the registration process (create a password, verify your ID, and link a bank account)…
- …but you don’t actually have to commit anything – no purchase necessary to enter or win (terms).
The winner will be announced in October.
Lending Club has worked well for me – again, lending club was my best investment of 2008. Give it a shot if you haven’t already. I wouldn’t recommend putting the kids’ college education fund there, but as a good side investment to diversify… it’s interesting and a decent small alternative income stream.
