• 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.

Well, I finally broke down and bought a new desktop. I had been thinking about a new laptop or desktop. I decided that I'm on the desktop a lot more, so I got one a Best Buy yesterday.

I purchased a Gateway model GT5694

Here are some specs:

AMD Phenom quad core processor 1.8 ghz
4 gigs DDR2 memory
640 gig hard drive
wireless LAN
2 firewire ports
6 USB ports 2 on front of computer
DVD+RW drive
ATI Radeon HD 3200 video
and of course windows vista

I have to say that I really like Vista. I'm having to get used to it after working with XP for so long, but I'll eventually figure it out. All in all, I like the whole setup. I guess I will sell my old computer, I'm not sure.

After having my old computer for about 5 years, this new computer will be a treat to own. I've never owned a Gateway product until now. I guess I'll see how it performs, and what the quality level will be.

EDIT: Now I'm off to get everything back like I had it on the old computer. Bookmarks, programs, setting, etc...
 
Sweet! Nice setup man. :)

Going from a single core to a quad core is an amazing jump. I went from my old 3 Ghz AMD single core to a quad core 3 Ghz (overclocked) Intel. My photo processing time has decreased significantly. I also have slowly learned to really like Vista on this new machine. If I had an old computer with older hardware, I wouldn't touch it. But, with 3 Gbs of RAM and a decent CPU, it is a great OS. As of yet, I haven't had it really blue screen on me once. Still crossing my fingers..... :D
