• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Not sure if I should stick this here or in Market place, since Im not selling it but....

If anyone is looking for a cheap, reliable laptop I would suggest the following:

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=210541411&loc=101&pageFormat=20&rs=3&#cReviews

Which was recommended to me by a clsoe friend who works for an IT department. The reviews speak for themselves and I have had zero problems with it. Ive installed all the chase essentials [GR3, spotter network, gpsgate etc etc] on 4 different machines and this is the first one that gave me no issues.

Some cons would be bad battery life but if you keep it plugged in its no big deal. Also it only comes with 512mb RAM [sufficient for non streamers] but upgrading RAM is cheap and easy.

It comes with wifi also, so far for me its worked great. So I thought I would throw it out there for anyone whos been looking around and doesnt have allot of cash to blow.
