Beginning October 3 you will once again be able to acquire the 3 upgrade (XP and Vista) license family pack for Windows 7.
At $149 for the bundle it’s a sweet deal for the average American home which now has, on average, 2.1 computers. But what the heck do you do with the 0.9 license left over? No matter, it’s still a sweetie considering the current $99 single license for the fastest selling operating system in history.
No word on how long the special will last. Website says only “…while supplies last”.
Here’s the jump to further info: Family Pack Returns in time for the Anniversary of Windows 7

“A device designed to control unruly inmates by blasting them with a beam of intense energy that causes a burning sensation is drawing heat from civil rights groups who fear it could cause serious injury and is "tantamount to torture."
Manufactured originally for the military, the device is made by Raytheon Missile Systems and sells for $750,000, a tad more than the ole rubber hose used by cops of the Broderick Crawford era. But just like the old rubber hose this device leaves no evidence of its use and promises to be even more painful. An interrogator’s dream it would seem. “Fess up pal, or we’ll fry you into next Tuesday.”
No doubt, some of that grand technology left to us by the GREAT Bush team.

“As a part of the Marine Highway Program, federal transportation officials selected eight projects that will receive preferential treatment for future federal assistance.
Included is the Tenn-Tom Freight Project, a proposed container-on-barge service between Mobile and the Port of Itawamba in northeast Mississippi.”
“…the Port Authority is interested in a water-based route between Mobile and the furniture factories and paper mills in northeast Mississippi.”
“That corner of Mississippi is a pretty busy spot,”.
