Re: Ear Plugs
I felt like I had water in my ear. I hate to admit this...but, this is how I feel everytime I do a lot of diving (more than a couple of dives a week). I just thought it was "normal". Maybe I should keep a closer watch on it??? I would be interested to know if others also experience this. ...

Re: Scooter help
We had the same thing happen with our scooters (2 different scooters with 2 different batteries). It turns out that we think the voltage might be a little high in the house and it prematurely shuts off the charger. It seems that if I turn the charger off, then restart it after it says it is charged,...

Re: Netbook???
Just as an FYI, I bought a Toshiba netbook from Best Buy. 2 weeks and 3 days after I bought it, the screen died on it. I took it back to Best Buy to get it replaced. They wouldn't give me a new one, since it was past their 14 day return policy. Instead they are shipping it back to the manufacturer f...

Bonaire electrical question
Has anyone ever had any problems charging lap tops, can lights, cameras, etc... in Bonaire? As I understand it, their electricity is 112-127V/50Hz with spikes happening often. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Re: Netbook???
Since I am leaving Friday, this is a rather last minute decision and I would have to purchase it from one of our local big box stores, probably (no customization). I am surprised by the short battery life, since I've seen specs with up to 12 hour battery life. Newer technology or just overstatements...

I do have a new smb though. Matt got to see it the other day, it's pretty sweet. What is it? Is it a Jake special, or a purchased item? I made it.

Thanks for the info. I wonder if you can buy the 2 GB card in a local shop (i.e. Best Buy)?? I think I'd rather do the upgrade up front if possible. Good to know that you can watch video's.

What are folks experience with netbooks? We're heading off on vacation and I've been pondering getting one. It would be easier to carry than my lap top.
