I think you are missing a GPS unit in your listing.
People that don't use GPS units can't map their data onto a map.

Well, thanks for your thoughts

Unfortunately, I have no more money -- if anyone knows where to buy a gps that has a serial input, at a cheap price, please tell me.

I'm poor..

Put your powerbook on eBay and get a real machine for a lot lesser price, and you will have plenty of money to spend.

Note: I was just kidding. Really, I respect mac users...

Hehe

my powerbook is a real machine -- and I love it...

I'm not one of those mac freaks, in fact this is my ONLY mac.

I have an IBM laptop that I might use, but I like my 5 pound lappy

My Setup

The one on the right is my new laptop, the one on the left was the old one that it replaced



Pretend you see D-Link 650+ card sticking out of the side of it.

Inspiron 4100 1.0 Ghz PIIIm
512MB Crucial PC-133 RAM
IBM 40GN 20GB
Mobility Radeon
8x Hitachi DVD
D-Link 650+ AirPlus (TI ACX100 Chipset)
D-Link 900AP Access point with the power boosted

No special antennas yet.... I get a pretty decent signal currently, but I've got future plans..

Cool setup ... hmmm you should really think about antenna -- it can REALLY increase what you can get. For exmple -- me stumbling from where I am sitting in my apartment (manhattan, NYC) ... I get 1 AP, and the signal is crap. With my 5 dbi Fab Corp (resold Mobile Mark) antenna ... I get 10 APs -- 4 of which are REALLY good signal.

Think about it...
