    A special thanks to serialmodder for the tip on the batteries on epay. Cycled a few times now shows 5 to 6 hours, very cool. I am waiting for the ribbon cable to connect the GPS module I got for it. Other than that I really like it, I understand now why the 18 and 19 are popular. I think I have all of the drivers downloaded for it as there were none active when I got it with a new install of XP tablet.
    Happy dance here! :D :D

    These things are definitely addictive..... Just wait until you have FIVE of them!

    (Or should I say.... Just wait until your significant other see that you HAVE five of them!) ;)

    Rick...tsk, tsk, when was the last time you had just five? How many do you now have? Not the business inventory (if you can call it that), but yours personally? Now the question becomes will those of us really addicted ever make it back down to just five? Oh well, as I tell my wife (for the good it does, especially when I buy another) it does keep me off the streets at night. Plus, being that I am alone here in FL does help! ;) :D

    The trick I have found it to have only ONE visiable at any one time and since they are all silver and black and look pretty much the same...............!
    And my wife not being tech savvy helps a lot as well!!

    And of course... leaving this window open and going to the bathroom so she can just accidentally see you talking about her... never gonna happen, right?

    Heh heh heh.... I'm shipping about 80 pounds of CF-28 parts to Springfield.... Let them fill up HIS shop!

    ctually... There may be a few things that will work if he puts them together... But there are a ton of parts, hard to find screws.... etc.
