Windows 7 Party Time
Dick didn’t reply early enough to get an invitation to the official Microsoft Windows 7 Launch Party in Manhattan, but the night before, HP had its own launch event, where Dick met Paul Thurrott of Windows Weekly. For the record, Dick was not thrown out of the party, as Leo seems to have told Paul. The following evening Dick attended the Windows 7 party at the Antarctica in Soho in New York, organised by Paul and others. Dick wasn’t given the cold shoulder there either, and got another copy of Windows 7 Ultimate from Paul.
Windows 7 BestBuy
BestBuy is selling a package of 3 HP computers, a monitor and a router, complete with installation (of the router) by the Geek Squad, all for $1,200. It includes an HP Pavilion Slimline Desktop, an HP Laptop (both with Intel Pentium processors, not the Core Series, integrated graphics, 3GB RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium), an HP Mini Netbook (Atom processor, 1GB RAM, 10″ 1024 x 600 display, Windows 7 Starter Edition), an HP 18″ LCD monitor, and a Netgear wifi(g) router.
The TWiTmobile and Shaker Audio
Leo was shopping for a new car 2 weeks ago, and it didn’t take him long to get one. There appears to be a sponsorship/advertising deal on the horizon or at least under discussion, and Leo can’t talk about it just yet. We know it’s red, has an external antenna, and is a new version of a classic model. Speculation is rife about what car it is. Leo posted on his blog a video of a test drive with fellow TWiT colleagues and a picture of the audio system in the car, which is a Shaker Audio system. The indications are that it’s one of the 2010 Ford Mustang models.

The Design of the QWERTY Keyboard
From the design of cars, Leo goes on to the design of keyboards. Leo observes that we are still stuck with the ancient QWERTY keyboard layout which was designed to slow down the typist, or more accurately, to avoid the jamming of keys in the original typewriters.
Uroclub Sale
Kevin from New York City saw an episode of the ABC show Shark Tank, in which the owner of the Uroclub (made famous by Dick in Episode 598) appeared on the show to pitch his company to the panel of CEOs, at $25,000 for 50% of the company. Only one CEO made an offer, $25,000 for 75% of the company. The deal was done.
