• 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.

Ok so I just got my new ultra high tech laptop with all the gidgets, gadgets, mice, and so forth. But after a dry run the other day. I am truly disgusted with the screen. Its a 15.4 widescreen HD Tru-brite screen. It is horrible on the eyes when outside or in a car.

I know they have commercial products that are anti glare or matte finish. Just for a short term fix. Is there anything that I could use,(Window tint, film, etc...) that will work to cutdown the glare or make it easier to read outside???

Mike,

There are probably some temporary fixes that you might come up with, but if you already spent a fair sum for all of the bells and whistles, spending a little bit more might be acceptable to help with the problem. I bought one of the anti-glare screen film protectors for about $25 and have been quite happy with it. It won't totally eliminate glare, but It sure decreased it considerably. You may want to check out www.photodon.com for some of the different sizes and prices.

I had the very same problem.
Solved it with the addition of this hand-made product that flat-out WORKS.
I fully recommend it...

I second the endorsement for the PC Shade. I used one for three or four seasons when I was using a ThinkPad in the car with excellent results. I would still be using it today but my Panasonic Toughbook has a daylight readable screen. :)

Before buying the PC Shade, I used a homemade shade that was made from a cardboard top from a box of continuous form-feed paper painted black. It was cut to fit and about 4 inches deep. It was better than nothing but I found that the added depth of the shade was required. The shade is fabric and will stow in a very small space when folded up.
