Bride buys 5p wedding dress on eBay
A lucky bride has beaten the credit crunch after finding her dream wedding dress for just 5p on eBay. Heather Saint, 20, said: My dress was worth every penny.
Saint was surprised to win the antique white lace and silk dress with such a low bid. She stated: "It is gorgeous and I was proud to tell everyone at the wedding how much it cost, I didn't mind anyone knowing. You should have heard me squeal with excitement when I opened the parcel and saw how perfect it was. It's made by a designer from Singapore."
The couple wed at St Cuthbert's RC Church, Stockton, amongst 70 invited guests, keeping the overall cost of their wedding down to £3,500.
Saint said: "We were careful about the cost, but we had absolutely everything we wanted. It was just that having a little girl and a house we had more important things to spend money on."

Google PC At Wal-Mart for $200
In the NYT today about Wal-Marts $200 Google PC that runs a version of Linux called the Google Operating System. Excerpt:
What makes it stand out, however, is GOS, a version of Linux specially made to run Google applications like GMail and Google Documents. It also runs OpenOffice, an open-source office suite that can handle Microsoft Word documents, and some multimedia applications.
The interface features an intuitive desktop interface with a set of icons. Clicking on the Map icon, for example, brings up Google Maps. The ostensible goal is to move much of the processing from the PC to the Internet.
