Episode 11: Samsung Color Laser Printer

john — Mon, 07 Nov 2005 23:52:10 +0000

Under $500 Recommendation:
Samsung Color Laser Printer (Model CLP-510)
Available at Bestbuy for $399 before a $100 rebate.

Reason:
Laser printers are considerably better than inkjet. The quality is better and it provides a cleaner more professional look. Overall the cost of ownership is lower than that with an inkjet, when you consider the cost of ink cartridges versus toner.

I checked this one out at Bestbuy and even on cheap 20lb paper. I would recommend it as a good printer for at home. Additionally you can set it up for wireless network printing with an add-on.

Episode 11: Karaoke

Jessica — Mon, 07 Nov 2005 23:16:25 +0000

So much fun for such a low price: Get a Memorex Karaoke System with a built in monitor + a couple CD’s for under $100 at Target!

Fun or dangerous for a college house? muahahaha. Contact me for details

Episode 11: Anti-Virus Software

Jeff — Sun, 06 Nov 2005 22:43:54 +0000

Not being terribly interested in computer viruse myself, but recognizing the widespread need for protection against them; I decided to bring up the topic of anti-virus software to the Money Well Spent team. The whole deal is rather complex, so I’m going to let you listen to the discussion in the podcast if you’re interested in this topic.

A few recommendations that were made were:
Norton Anti-Virus
McAfee Anti-Virus.

Episode 10: Vonage Cordless Broadband Phone (VTech)

john — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 01:31:32 +0000

Back with another Vonage recommendation. In episode 2 I recommended Vonage Phone Service.

Which I still use and believe is a great phone solution. One thing many friends have shared with me is that it is not easy to integrate it into their homes wiring. First off, I don’t think it is too difficult; however, I have the advantage of having been involved in the excessive wiring in my house. If you are a bit concerned about that; Vonage has the answer. They are now offering a package with VTECH cordless phones. Plug the base into the internet connection and plug the handsets into the power and you are done.

Episode 10: Saw and Saw II

Jessica — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 19:02:59 +0000

If you haven’t already, rent Saw on DVD.

Then, go out and see Saw II.

These psychological thrillers are sure to make you feel as though it was money well spent.

Money Well Spent - Episode 10

john — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 00:53:19 +0000

Money Well Spent is now in the double digit episodes! Join Patrick, John, Jessica and Jeff in a discussion about all things that money is well spent on! This week Jeff introduces Gothic heavy metal (or something like that) as the ideal music for seasonal color changes. Jessica suggests a movie (one not even heard of by John). John and Patrick both suggest a couple more conservative and practical picks.

Episode 10: JDVR70 4-Channel Digital Video Surveillance System

Patrick — Sun, 30 Oct 2005 12:04:41 +0000

My pick for Episode 10 of Money Well Spent is the JDVR70 4-Channel Digital Video Surveillance System.

Episode 10: Type O Negative

Jeff — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 22:38:29 +0000

What’s a better way to spend your day than dropping by the local music store, picking up Type O Negative’s October Rust album and driving through river valleys in the fall when the leaves have changed?

Well maybe getting married. Or getting cybernetic limbs if you were born without arms.

but that’s about it.

This particular Type-O album is a fantastic piece of music for driving, especially when all the leaves have turned their gorgeous post-mortem shades of red, yellow, brown, what have you.

Find yourself a cute girl, or boy [hell if you’re listening to goth music you might not be that particular, heh heh], hop in the car and start driving. And with gas prices now dropping down to the wonderfully affordable price of $2.25/gallon, you haven’t much of an excuse!

I promised John that if he followed the advice of this pick and didn’t either A) enjoy the experience, or B) directly benefit from it, I’d buy his copy of the album off him. This should act as a convincing display of my resounding confidence in my pick for this week.

Episode 9: GE Chest Freezer

Jessica — Mon, 24 Oct 2005 23:32:30 +0000

If you’re like me and have 4 roommates in one duplex, or just like things to be frozen and need extra room for those frozen things (excluding baby heads), a 5 cubic foot chest freezer from GE is the ticket. Pick it up for $199 from Home Depot.
