   Wow, it’s been a while and needing some updates..  I got a lot to cover, so meaning it’s Check-out, lets get into the Express lane for some simple and quick updates.


Last week you local Walmart store overhauled their PC selection. Depending on your local store Netbooks from $298, Laptops from $348 and Desktops from $298 all with Windows 7.  Some stores have live units out on demo with an expanded in-store selection.  Online we carry over 250 PC’s, click here for more information .

It’s Tax time! Stop in, or shop online for Tax software, PC’s & accessories

Earth Month (April) is right around the corner. I don’t know what its like where you live, but in the Bay Area the local power company is installing smart meters. I’ll be able to login online and look at my power consumption by hour, day and month to look at lowering it. Check out this article that was in the San Jose Mercury News the other day. It speaks to power consumption in electronics.

Snow, Ice and rain this season and it doesn’t look like it’s going to stop. Make sure you prepared with pre-made kits or make your own.
Check these out online  or stop by in your local store for one.
You can always make your own, by starting off with a backpack and then filling it up with a Basic First Aid Kit, Granola Bars, Bottled Waters, Multi-tool, Duct Tape, Flashlights, batteries, blanket(s) and more. Just make sure to mark the dates and rotate the food/water supply.

Value of the day is continuing for Walmart.com. Click here and save it to check out daily.

I’m going to look at doing this quick style post more often. If there’s something you want to see covered, let us know by posting a question, comment or concern.

 Thanks
-Friday

We have two kids (15 and 13) and every week I hear the "We need our own laptop" chant!  I'll check your links.
