Hi $contact_first_name !

10/12/09 was the official first day we turned on the pellet stove. It also happened to be a day my family took a spectacular walk at Arcadia in Easthampton. I posted some of my pics here for your enjoyment :) As it happens this morning I saw snow flakes.. yikes. I agree that time flies when you’re having fun.

This month we received approval as a Lenovo  Authorized reseller.

While we could resell Lenovo products previously, I wanted to signup for the new program as it offered further and exclusive offers allowing us to offer even lower pricing. Also I am a HUGE fan of the Lenovo laptops and the Thinkpad in general. As I understand it, The Thinkpad was the first laptop to ever get it’s own inurance plan from the large insurers, as it’s reliability and military grade toughness are legendary. One model here we can offer $1550 with free next day shipping if ordered before noon. We can drop ship to you. All Lenovo laptops come with a freee windows 7 upgrade, however you may want to wait until after Oct 22 at this point so you can get it preloaded to save some time, cost and agravation.   think

This is Windows 7 month and we have some  more info at the end.

Windows 7

I’ve been using it here for a month or so (we have a Microsoft subscription that allows us to use any and all of their software inhouse). Anhow, all I can say about Windows 7 is that it’s what Vista should have been. It’s fast and stable. New pc’s come with a free upgrade, until it’s released: Oct 22, 2009.  Here’s some more info on the Windows 7 versions and how they compare to pastversions:

The Philanthropy Philes

As you may know we are committed to making a difference in the world through support of local nonprofits, and conservation efforts in particular. We are running a tad behind my year end goal of at least 15% donated to nonprofits. Actually I have been so tied up in working on and repairing my 1800′s era house this summer!) so in an effort to get back on track well before year end we have $500 to give away to the first local nonprofit that gets 5 individual recommendations (recommended by 5 people).  Please tell your friends and have them email me with their recommendations.  The nonprofit must reside in my coverage area of Northampton to Greenfield, or have a field office in that area. Theorganization does not have to be a registered 501c3 organization but will be subject to approval if not.

Until next time…

thank you!
