    I went to a computer security seminar not too long ago, where they listed the most recent big "data thefts" - and in all but 1 case, it was a security issue with just someone "walking out" with the data - no one actually "breaking in" and stealing the data.

    (point being that the physical security / access logs of employees looking at data should be as important as outside-world access security)

    Gamsin said she did not know how the virus-like computer script that captured customer data got into CardSystems' network, which MasterCard said was infiltrated by an "unauthorized individual." Neither company would elaborate.

    Bob's easy way to remove problems from computer...

    1.) Unplug the CPU (that's the "box").
    2.) Very carefully carry it to your car.
    3.) Drive at a speed way below the posted limit.
    4.) Arrive at the tallest building in your city, state, country, planet, etc.
    5.) Take CPU to the top floor.
    6.) Toss out open window.
    7.) Go to best buy, frys, circuit city, etc.
    8.) Buy a new one!

    Problem solved!!!!!

    Summertop: waas is a network of ground stations of which the coordinates are known exactly, those ground stations are used to calculate a correction on the gps data (due to atmospheric noise, slightly movement of the satelites, etc.) .. the ground stations are in the usa .. the waas signal cant be received everywhere .. and even if it can be received outside the usa i am not sure the correction is correct for other coordinates ... so waas is nice .. but not something i would select the device for (without waas the accuracy is about 15 meters, with waas about 3 meters)

    i had a look at some of the exercizes .. fun :)
    the geko 201 also has some gps games on it .. can be fun to play with :)

    i am not sure about the maps ... i think i would like it and it would definetly be a pro .. i wont be able to use it in costa rica i think .. but i would be able to use it on other trips for sure . so for the moment i dont need it .. but its definetly a big pro (if it doesnt raise the price too much :))

    i read a dutch review who said it worked nice for him .. so it works outside the usa as well *phew* :) .. i read some more reviews and it seems the battery life is slightly less than the 12 hours which garmin claims .. can you switch batteries without losing data ?

    what were you experiences with the device you used ? (which brand, type, what area, what occasion ? ;))

    fra: where did you use it ? did you also use it outside the usa ?

    how was the battery life ? i will be walking for 1 day, then i maybe can recharge it but i am not sure, then 1 day walking around that location, than 1 day walking back .. so i would prefer to be able to keep it running for 3 days (which i fear is impossible) but at least for 1 day walking (about 9 hours)

    your link says it can store maps in its 1mb memory, how accurate are those maps ? are there only maps from the usa or from other countries as well ?

    i plan to buy it soon and play a bit with it over here (in car, on bike, and walking in the dunes/forest

    do you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to use the gps data ?

    Hrqls, I would spend the money to make sure you get the features you want. Such as downloadable maps. Also, get one before you need it so you can have the time to learn how to use it. You can go to http://www.geocaching.com for some fun exercizes to help you learn how to use it.

    I've only used one once. When it says it is for the US market only and uses the WAAS...does it only work in the US. Isn't the WAAS a US based network?

    I am just experimenting with Indian languages and I've got a problem - when I try to display this page in Firefox, it works great and I can see all Bengali characters. However, Internet Explorer shows only question marks or little squares.
    I think the problem is in a missing font in the Internet Explorer because I am sure I have this font installed on my computer (when I open a Wordpad, I can write in Bengali). Is there a way how to "install" the fonts to the IE?
