What operating system (on your laptop/desktop computer) did you run with this? XP? Vista?

The ebay fees would be just under 10 dollars for final value fee and 30? cents for listing fee (depends on your starting price). Figure $5.80 for paypal fees, but that happens regardless off ebay or not. It would be less for ebay fees, but ebay jacked up their final value fees (but lowered listing fees by a tiny little bit) a few weeks ago.

If nothing else, it's cool to see a local name i recognize on the forums. In the mean time, i'll see what i can come up with in the way of poems.

In the process of selling...

Do is use a GPS; of course. It's one thing to find a light pole cache with google earth, but good luck finding a more difficult cache in the woods. I'm going to make a prediction that 95% (at least) use a GPS

I have a Magellan Triton 200 for sale. I bought it a few weeks ago yet got a great deal on a Vista CX. The gps wasn't even opened. I am looking for 100$ plus shipping, but I am flexible. If you have any questions or an offer, please email me at sunyesf at gmail.com. The Magellan Triton has a full color screen, built in base maps of the US, WAAS. You can also add detailed maps and software. Overall, a great introductory gps.

I have a hard time choosing between reverting to LORAN or trying letterboxing. When it comes to the latter, there sure are a lot around here.

Suddenly, I feel the cabin fever setting in.... Friggin snow

I too need a adaptor from serial to usb. Any great ideas...

I am trying to use my microsoft Zune for paperless caching. I am not sure if it is possible, but i'm sure that there has to be something. If anyone has any ideas, they would be great.

Yeah, ok, so you did say legend. I guess i had vista on my mind. Anyway, I still stand by my recommendation that a yellow etrex is the perfect gpsr for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money (an 80 legend is by no means a lot of money either). I've hiked in over 7 miles one way for a geocache with my etrex. Then again, if you are sure that you are going to like geocaching, go all out and get yourself the best gps you can buy. You wouldn't belive how often they come in handy RussellM

An etrex vista is the lowest unit you would recommend? If he has been geocaching with a tom tom, i think a compass and map would be a step up, let alone something as simple as a yellow etrex. You can easily get a yellow etrex for 50 dollars around these forums (or ebay) that would serve your purposes. You can also get a geko 301, which has a small display, yet comes with electronic compass and altimeter for 80 bucks from a site mentioned previously on these forums. Either way, start off small and go from there. Good luck in your search Russell

Carry on is ok, but different airlines (and the different flight attendents for that matter) have different rules about GPS. I thought i was going to get kicked off the plane the first time i took it out, but my dad has used his multiple times (all within a few years). It can't hurt to try....

And there lies my problem. I tried to place a cache in a location where multi cache had a virtual leg. To get the coords to the final cache, you had to email the owner a photo of you at the top of this mtn. There was no physical cache of any form. When i tried to place one, it was denied, even after a few emails back and forth with the reviewer.

If he doesn't take it, i'm interested

After hours of research and creative thought, i picked my name.

Picture this. Its july 4th and I'm paddling out to an island with a few friends. We get to the island and start to look for the geocache. What do i find in the geocache.... firecrackers. The most useful and fun swag ever found. While it might be frowned uppon my those who stick to the rules, it made my day.

I drive a cavalier LS to all of my geocaches. The viper says in the garage where it won't get scratched. Never geocached anywhere the cavalier couldn't handle, so no complaints

Edited because i didn't answer the question asked.
