We all have kids (or know somebody with them), and probably at one time or another we’ve rented an instrument for their band class. I’ve done the same and found none of the music instrument rental locations offer an automated payment method. The ones I’ve spoken with send an invoice monthly and ask the renter to mail back a payment.
I figure this has to be expensive for the shop. Envelope, invoice, stamp, plus return stamp and the time it may take to cash the check. What if there was an automated way? Enter Rentec Music Rental Software. We are leveraging the already powerful engine which drives Rentec’s property management software and soon making components available to other rental industries.
This will not only provide a new service to an industry desperately in need, but it will continue to help improve the core Rentec Direct product with new features and improvements that may benefit both industries. Keep an eye out for new improvements in 2010!

Well this is quite off topic for a property management or landlord software type discussion; however, this morning when I noticed that Wordpress 2.7 was available I decided to take the plunge. I’m actually 2 days behind most of the blogger world who all upgraded on the 11th the second 2.7 was released.
For fellow bloggers out there deciding if they want to upgrade or not. I wanted to throw in a few highlights that I’m impressed with.
- I can again upload media from Firefox without having to choose browser upload! This is a major highlight for me, and it may have been fixed in 2.6 releases which I skipped; however, I’m very pleased it’s again simple to upload attachments.
- Fully configurable Dashboard. This is a major improvement. Now when administrators login we can configure the dash to show exactly what we want, where we want it. No more complying with someone else’s idea of “useful layout”.
- Automatic Upgrades. It can’t be stressed enough what a great idea it was to incorporate automatic upgrades into 2.7. Granted, upgrades have always been more-or-less pretty simple; however, with upgrades being 1 click in the future, there will be no excuses for anyone to be behind the curve; or like myself, 2 days late in upgrading.
My review in one word is “wow”. They did a really excellent job with 2.7 and every blogger should indeed take the few minutes to upgrade their installation if they haven’t already.
