Hi guys! As you know I haven't been able to use the rechargable batteries in my battery pack in the delorme since about the beginning of the month because I dropped the receiver. I want to share with you that I just hung up from talking to delorme to get an extra battery pack and the man was absolutely delightful. He and I talked about gps and I told him I was passionate about us being mobile. Anyway I had a really marvelous experience and didn't get any foreigners to answer my questions with English printed on a screen in front of him as I did with a certain nameless personal computer manufacturer. Ok happy gpsing. We didn't take a big walk today as Peggy's mom was absolutely worn out mentally from us rebuilding my laptop from the hard drive up and we walk out of the house and are dive-bombed by a trillion or more zacadas so it is easier to walk either after dark or at dawn before the wretched little beasties show their ugly faces. Ok bye for now and again happy gpsing. Mary Ellen and Peggy Earls
