Time for a post

Well time for a new post, the vote is over soooo.

Some of the things going on:
Need a new phone
Need a new car
Need to get finances in order.

Well lets start with the cell phone, mine is about at the end of its life. I have had the phone for about 18 months now, so I can either wait the 6 months to get a free one, or pay the hit and get a new one from FIDO. I think it is just the battery, but I am not a 100% sure right now. I have a couple of options here
A. New battery from Fido (~50.00)
B. New battery from the internet (~25.00)
C. New phone from Fido(~100.00)
D. New phone from other source, say rogers if it works (as low ~35.00)

I will probably try for the new rogers phone, Duncan had a phone that he was thinking of selling and my friend Ken mentioned his brother can get some cheap (good) phones from rogers.


New car. This is one that has been on for a long long time. I am at the point with my car that I do not feel justified to put any time or money into it. I have been renting cars to go to and from Ottawa and that seems to work, but now I am starting to get concerned about my short little drive into work (oh well hopefully summer will be here soon and I can just take the bike.
My options
a. Brand new car (more expensive) say a Mazda6, an Altama, Accord, Acura or something like that.
b. Brand new car (an inexpensive one) say a civic, toyota yaris or matrix
c. A newer used car. this the options are limitless. but basicly newer than 2003 under $20,000 and less than 80k on it.


The final thing is to get my finaces in order, I am thinking of buying something expensive with Mel. More to come on that one.

P.S still looking for that job in O town, I started using a new website http://www.ottawaregion.com/techdbase it is kinda cool, it has alot of the high tech companies in Ottawa. I started going through it, I managed to finish the letters and A, now I am onto B.

what does everyone think, if both an email, fax, and address is given. What is the best one to use?
