Rumor about $600 rebate from government

I checked it out at http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=179181,00.html and an individual who has earned more than $3000 in 2007 will get $300 back in May. You must file your 2007 income tax return to be eligible.

Textbook Rental Service

I just found out about a textbook rental service called Chegg (for "chicken and egg"). There's a good article about it in Business Week Online at http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=f5h&AN=23783243&site=ehost-live

Prices seem to be about 50% of retail for textbooks. Check it out at www.chegg.com!
