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?
