Wells Bells!
February 5, 2007 by Wil.
As seen on Finance For Youth: The Blog
As promised, I’ve reviewed Wells Fargo in the same manner that I reviewed Bank of America.
Wells Fargo is a little different because it touts itself highly as being an online bank.

Wow! For an online bank, they charge for Bill Pay, which is unheard of today. I also really didn’t like the idea that they only discount your fee if you have direct deposit. A bank that large would do well (get it? WELL), to waive a monthly fee like every other institution in the free world.

Software for Students
January 18, 2007 by Wil.
I got this post from LifeHacker. This is a great feature for those of you who want a computer to be able to do any work, but don’t want to, or can’t afford to deal with Windows or Mac OS. I plan getting this (and I will trade them for a pretty good donation!) and check out the software on an old laptop I just acquired. These guys are on our side here, and I’m really stoked to check out the product.

http://softwarefor.org/downloads.html to get directly to the site.
Once again, if you can afford to, please donate to these people if you get their product. I remember being a student, and this would have been awesome if it existed then.
Until next time, I’ll keep looking!
