New schtuff

Here are some new (or new to me) things I have seen that seem like pretty good ideas:

People PC - the idea is you get a new computer, unlimited internet access, free on-site support, and other deals passed your way for $24.95 / month

Here's what they say:

  • A top-quality, brand-name computer, replaced every 3 years
  • Unlimited Internet access
  • Easy setup
  • Terrific deals when you shop
  • On-site hardware warranty, great customer service

    The computer is a Toshiba 366 Mhz Intel Celeron, w/64 MB of RAM and a 6 GB hard drive. You get an 8 MB video card, a 56 k modem, a 15" monitor and speakers to boot. It seems ike a great deal for mom's (hopefully mine wouldn't need to call me for computer help then)

    First Internet Bank - basically everything is online.

    I am thinking about doing something like this. They offer ATM usage at any of 42,000 ATM's and give you $6/month to cover out of network ATM usage. They have 3% interest on checking accounts and its really set up to pay bills on-line (a definite plus). I just wish there we're more competitive forces at work in this industry. Really this should all be free because we are allowing them to not hire tellers and the like.

    Don't even get me started on ATM fees. I cannot stand them!

    Oh yeah, I back on the eBay again. I need a 12 step program.

    And when the hell can I expect Homesite 5. I will not switch to 4 but I think it could be better.
