• 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 took the plunge and got a brand new laptop! I went shopping today at best buy and saw the perfect computer with a $200 instant rebate. its an HP dv5000z series. Here are a few specs on it:

AMD turion processor at 2.2 Ghz
1 gig memory (I can always upgrade later)
80 gig HD
wireless LAN
DVD/RW/R
3 USB ports
firewire port
expansion port 2 connector
PC card slot
S video TV-out port
RJ-45 port
RJ-11 port
microphone port
headphone port
VGA monitor port
security lock
3 year accidental coverage

The suprising thing is when I got home and powered it up it automatically detected a wireless internet connection. I guess someone in my apartment complex has wireless internet. I will just be using this for GPS and wireless internet when I'm chasing. ThreatNet will have to wait until next year. I'm so excited...now I really can't wait until spring!
 
Congrats on the new laptop! That along with WiFi is nice while chasing.

Yea, I couldn't pass up a laptop named HP. Since I got a $200 instant rebate I guess you could say that I got an HP SUPERSALE!!! :lol:
 
Jason you will love your HP. I will give you my list of wireless sites next time we have lunch. Now just get a jotto desk to mount it on.

As for ram I think 1gig will be more than enough for what you are doing with it.

Also if you want some music I have about 15gig (almost 4000 songs) worth I can transfer from my laptop to yours.
