I just got a Garmin nuvi 260 W on Amazon for $120 for mr. flea's birthday. We like it. It does display speed, I think even when you don't have a destination in mind.

Thanks, and thanks to dcp too. I'm trying to decide now between a nuvi 205W ($100), a nuvi 1300 ($130), a nuvi 265WT ($160), or a nuvi 780 ($180). I have a premature Christmas gift certificate, so there has to be a big difference in price to buy elsewhere. I'm leaning toward the 205w after some quick investigation.

When my company entered a partnership deal with a large pharma co, my role was finding a good, secure, easy-to-use file sharing site. We decided on Egnyte.com and we are having MULTIPLE issues. Issues so bad that I now have to find another site. Like, immediately. And do the set up and data migration over the holidays. Thankfully really only our QA groups have been using the site, and there's not that much I'll have to move. But still.

Anyway I write this here in the hopes that one of you has a site you use for work that you LOVE? I am looking at box.net and filesanywhere.com right now.

how large are the files? how many people will be uploading? do you need memberships or would you prefer to share files via links?

The files are less than a gig in total. And yes on memberships. I assign users to groups, and then those groups have access to various folders. We have 50+ users, with about 20 of them being "power users" who consistently upload files.

We looked at about 20 vendors before deciding on Egnyte and we've had a total crap experience with them.

okay, you might want to consider dropbox (but this involves everyone using a software program for ease of use - though you can use the web version). There are paid accts, but you shouldn't need them if you are under 1 gig. If you are the one hoarding all the files, you yourself might need paid, but the others can get away with the free version.

I also might recommend drop.io. You can create different sites for different groups and they can upload to each site (or download all the files in bulk).

You can get a drop.io manager acct for a monthly fee that will allow total control over the other sites and when to open and close them, allot more space, etc.

Thanks, appreciate the help!

let me know what you choose, I'm interested.

What does it mean when Word will only start in safe mode? it keeps crashing and wanting to send an error report, and then will start in safe mode and seem to work ok. Biut has been doing this through repeated restarts and shutdowns of the computer. Work computer, so important docs, but not my money. OTOH, they just gave me this one a couple months ago.

It usually means some file is corrupted. When it opens in safe mode, go to Help/Detect and Repair and, if you're lucky, it will automagically fix itself. If you've already done that, reloading Word would be next. My new HP printer recently tried to have a duel to the death with Word and Detect and Repair seems to have brought about a truce.
