Oh, I should add to that that it is best to buy the wireless router and
PCMCIA card from the same manufacturer. Otherwise if you have a problem, the
PCMCIA card manufacturer might blame the wireless router and vice versa.

  Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Gasoline in Prescott; recommendations for laptop
computers and digital cameras


  I have more than a half a tank of gas left in my SUV, but I decided to
ride my bike to work today to save the fuel for the weekend.  I have enough
fuel to drive to the Prescott area, so I intend to go geocaching in the
Prescott area on Saturday and will fill up with fuel in Prescott Valley or
Prescott.  A friend who lives in the Prescott area reports that as of today,
there is fuel at all the stations near his home and there are no lines.  He
is not a geocacher, so I would also like to request replies on the fuel
situation in Prescott from Prescottians like Lincoln and Trisha.

  I need a new home computer, and I am thinking of getting a laptop with
wireless Internet access.  Therefore, I can bring this computer with me
while traveling, look for caches in the places where I visit, and enter my
cache findings and travel bug movements a lot faster.  I would also like to
use my computer for downloading digital photos.  Does anyone have any
recommendations about the best laptop computer to buy?  What requirements,
such as memory, processor speed, and hard drive space, should I get?

  Also, I am also considering replacing my digital camera.  The one I have
is not working well, and I never liked it much in the first place.  I am
thinking of upgrading to something better, but I don't want to spend a lot
of money.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a high-quality, affordable
digital camera?
