...drive still doesn't work. I hope to have it repaired after I graduate in June. I am sure one of the repair shops in my hometown will be happy for my business, even if UIS wants to chase me away. I also would bet that any chain computer super store would fall over itself to take over management of UIS in an arrangement similar to the one between Barnes and Noble and the Coop. Harvard may be good at education, but it stinks at computer repair. It will save its students and employees a lot of headaches...

But I'd also consider simply plunking some money in a well-run regional bank-stock mutual fund like Fidelity's or John Hancock's. Both are up more than 55% in the past 12 months. There...
...excel. Led by its financial-management title, Microsoft Money and its brilliantly realized investment Website, Microsoft Investor investor.msn.com) the company has more than made its mark in home-financial software. But consumer-side successes are just the tip of the Microsoft iceberg, and industry watchers wonder whether giants like Chase and Citi might yet turn into Titanics...
