• 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.

Walmart $298 laptop

No computer dork speak here, I don't know all that stuff. I do know that I got my wife's laptop at BestBuy for $398. I totally hate best buy customer service and absolutely refused for the "Geek Squad" to even open the box, but it was a smokin fast Toshiba laptop for 400 bucks. I would be heading that way if I needed a new one. Not Wally World.
 
Wow, Packard Bell. Those were the first 2 pc's my parents owned. The first one wasn't able to get on the internet and the second one was an equal piece if junk but was able to get online. I have never heard anything good about emachines. My thoughts are you get what you pay for.
 
I grabbed one a bit ago at Walmart $298 because the price was good, I never liked an emachines computer as they were sold but they did better if you added enough memory to actually run them. They appear to be made by Acer now?? Hopefully this 64 bit works better than Acer 64 bit Vista machines did.

Packard Bells are classics. I used to have one myself. I used to use a Comodore 64 aswell. That makes me feel old.
 
So far I am impressed with it's speed. I was thinking it might be doggy but its pretty snappy. I am using it while I redo my main computer as my Windows 7 expired on it.
