Kiplinger's Review -- September

So I picked up this issue on a whim and, as usual, I was disappointed. Very few articles of interest. A lot of mutual-fund table fluff. A lot of irrelevant drek. I have to stop getting it unless I find it free.

Points of interest, however few they may be:
- Check out First Federal Coin Corp.

- Check out this site for hard to find business phone numbers.

- Check out this site and this site to store passwords. Or check out Handy Password and Robo Form Pro for similar software.

Just days after setting for the house-sale plan, it seems we may have a potential bite. The market remains soft, yes, but people are still looking. I have no basis for saying this, but it seems to me that it's just a small correction to bring into line home costs with what people can afford. Salaries, of course, haven't risen as fast as home prices have over the past few years.
