Important Two-Liners You May Not Have Considered

December 21, 2000February 17, 2017

Rick Reidy: ‘The number one rap music star in America today is white, while the number one golfer is black.

Joe Cherner: ‘When someone asks you, ‘A penny for your thoughts’ and you put your two cents in, what happens to the other penny?’

Jonathan Levy: ‘Rather than trying to get rid of merchandise cheap after the election, maybe GoreGear.com should have considered actually filling orders placed during the campaign!’

David Rothman: ‘Those wide power-adapters are known as wallwarts. The wallwart-ready power strips are great. I’m partial to the Kensington, which costs about $19 at buy.com.’

Alex: ‘Wait! Search cyberguys.com for item #121 2550 and you’ll find Power Strip Liberators that let you plug in all those fat converters into a regular power strip at half the cost.’

Dan H: ‘Here’s a really useful number that you may wish to add to your junk mail reduction link: 1-888-5-OPT-OUT (1-888-567-8688).’

David Shupp: This site offers software – MYM2QIFW – that can help you translate files from Managing Your Money (and some of the banks that use it) into files readable by Quicken and Money.

Still interested in low-energy light bulbs? Click here for a link from the Department of Energy, for those interested in buying them in bulk (I think 10 may be the minimum) cheap (around $7.50).

FLORIDA: If you don’t like the way we count, visit one of the other 56 states.
