Smart Ways to Save Money Online
A post at LifeHacker linked to TDavid's excellent post at MakeYouGoHmm.com called 14+ Money Saving Computer User Ideas. It's some really great advice about saving money using your computer. Such as using VoIP phone service, ditching online subscriptions for services you don't use enough to justify the cost, and buying annual or lifetime subscriptions for services that you do use enough to justify the expense.
He also suggests two other tips that I agree with -- joining reward clubs, and using music (like Yahoo Music) subscription services to 'try before you buy.' A few of his other tips I'm not so sure about -- building your own MythTV media computer instead of using TiVO, and buying a UPS and anti-static mats. Not that there's anything wrong with buying those things if you want the added peace of mind, but I've been using computers for over 25 years and I've never had any mishaps or meltdowns from either power surges or static discharges.
Go read TDavid's other tips, and if you've got any comments, or tips of your own, put them in the comments.
