P2P financing for Mac?

P2P lending so you can buy a Mac

You've heard me talk about Prosper before. The revolutionary (evolutionary anyway) new way of borrowing and lending money. Cut out the phat cats at the bank and give direct to your borrowers (this does take some research on your part) or borrow direct from lenders for likely a lower rate than the bank will give you. I've got a few hundred dollars out in it, it works fairly well because if you do your research and because your money is spread out you minimize the risk and maximize your profits. Well a team of Mac oriented people has joined together to created the MacLenders , a Prosper group and organization devoted to lending for the purchase of a Macintosh Computer, though they will loan for other things they tend to lean toward Mac users for lending. I'm a member of another Prosper group right now but if these guys pan out I'd love to support them in their quest to promote Macintosh computing. They offer tiers for how much they will automatically put in for your loan based on your credit, as well as the rates they are willing to accept. I can assure you they are cheaper then Apples Juniper credit card. Again, if you are in the market for a new Macintosh or looking to get into this newfangled P2P Prosper lending, take a peek at MacLenders , they may be able to help you out in that regard.

The Darker Side of OZ

Every college junkie knows the old myth: Apparently if you start watching The Wizard of Oz and then once the MGM lion makes his final roar you begin blasting Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon," the two will magically seem as if they were synchronized together. Almost as if the album were an alternate score for the actual movie itself. Well first of all, it's kind of a sad score if it only happens to last about 40 minutes into the movie. But there are some pretty cool coincidences. For example, when the movie moves from black & white into color is when the cash registers in "Money" start keying in, to perfectly suit the budget of the film skyrocketing. Or theres another great moment when the screaming and wailing perfectly coincides with the winding tornados. It's a pretty neat effect, but only if you get the timing perfectly correct. If this is a problem you have, then you should probably just look into buying The Dark Side of OZ DVD. It's a worthwhile purchase if you want to freak out your friends and see the movie that could have been, wondering just how many drugs the ol' Floyd boys were on. Then you can wonder, was it a coincidence or a consiracy? The world may never know, but at least you won't waste your money grabbing the DVD version with most of the work done for you!
