WOW! $US1000! Boat crap is kinda pricey!

Webfoot RS-232 to DCHP-enabled Ethernet adapter $179 including the
virtual serial port software for your PCs for the nav software.
Works great with The Cap'n hooked to the serial port on the old
Noland NMEA multiplexer.

Plug it into a fixed port on:

Netgear MR814 802.11b 4-port + wireless router - as low as $20 used
and refurb'd on Amazon. New ones are $39..

179 + 39 + shipping = $995? I don't think so....

Oh, on Lionheart, the shared printer (HP) is hooked to one of the
fixed ports..(c;

Plug the cable modem into the router WAN port when you connect to the
dock's cable TV system and buy broadband internet from the cable
company. Because your wireless router can be used by your neighbors
down the dock, y'all get together and pay for ONE cable internet to
the "host boat", reducing broadband expenses on the dock by a LOT.....

The flag on the dock is hangin' limp and not moving. Besides that, there's
an AWFUL black cloud that is floating towards the dock very slowly from the
West.

No joy sailing in these conditions....noone gets soaked!...(c;

When she sinks, Ethernet networking will be farthest from my mind....

Want a free ketch? There's on sitting on the bottom out in the anchorage
just off the Charleston (SC) City Marina in the Ashley River. Bring some
airbags and your compressor! It's free!

I heard on the docks they already busted her owner for $18,000 for
"environmental impact" from his sealed diesel fuel tank and sealed engine
crankcase that DIDN'T leak anything I could see into the river.....

That's kinda pricey, too!

OF THE DAY I GOING TO LEAVE EVERYBODY ON THE NET WITH A WIN WIN SITUATION
I'LL PROMISE.

Make Money Now **This Really Works (just take a few second to read) **
$50,000 in one month. Direct to you.



!!!!COPY AND PASTE THIS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM NOW!!!!!
PLEASE NOTE: Follow these directions EXACTLY, and $50.000.00 or more can be
yours in 20 to 60 days. This program remains successful because of the
honesty and integrity of the participants. Please continue its success by
carefully adhering to the instructions. You will now become part of the Mail
Order business. In this business, your product is not solid and tangible,
it's a service. You are in the business of developing Mailing Lists. Many
large corporations are happy to pay for quality lists. However, the money
made from Mailing Lists is secondary to the income which is made from people
like you and me asking to included in that list. Here are the 3 easy steps
to success:



STEP ONE: Get 6 separate pieces of paper and write your name and address
plus the following on each piece of paper
"PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST."
Now get 30 US$ and place 5 US$ inside EACH of the 6 pieces of paper so the
$5.00 will not be seen through the envelope (to prevent thievery). Next,
place one paper in each of the envelopes and seal them. You would now have 6
sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase, your
name and address, and 0ne $5.00. What you are doing is creating a service
and you are paying for it! Like most of us I was skeptical and a little
worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S.
Post Office 1-800-725-2161 and they confirmed that it was indeed legal. Mail
the 6 envelopes to the following addresses:

1. John kalabel / 44c forester / Ottawa / Ontario / Canada.
2. Caleb Brewer /44c forester / Ottawa / Ontario / Canada
3. Fred Grant / 44c forester / Ottawa / Ontario / Canada
4. Sony Duroseau/ 44c forester / Ottawa / Ontario / Canada
5.Jim Harris / 44c forester / Ottawa / Ontario / Canada
6. Tyrell Banks / 44c forester / Ottawa / Ontario / Canada


STEP TWO: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the
other names up 6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4, etc., and Add YOUR NAME as number 6
on the list.
STEP THREE: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as
close to the original as possible. Now, post this amended article to at
least 100 newsgroups. (There are close to 450,000 groups on Yahoo Groups
alone). All you need is 100, but remember, the more you post, the more money
YOU make! You won't get very much unless you post like crazy!
This is perfectly legal! If you have any doubts, refer to Title 18 Sec. 1302
& 1341 of the Internatational Postal Lottery Act. Keep a copy of these steps
for yourself and, whenever you need money, you can use it again, and again.
PLEASE REMEMBER that this program remains successful because of the honesty
and integrity of the participants and by their carefully adhering to the
directions. Look at it this way. If you are of integrity, the program will
continue and the money that so many others have received will come your way.
NOTE: You may want to retain every name and address sent to you, either on a
computer or hard copy and keep the notes people send you. This VERIFIES that
you are truly providing a service. (Also, it might be a good idea to wrap
the $5 in dark paper to reduce the risk of mail theft.) So, as each post is
downloaded and directions carefully followed, six members will be reimbursed
for their participation as a List Developer with two dollars each. Your name
will move up the list geometrically so that when your name reaches the #5
position you will be receiving tens of thousands of dollars in CASH!!! What
an opportunity for only $30.00 ($5.00 for each of the six listed above) Send
it now, add your name to the list and you're in business!
NOTE: Send only US dollars in this program as the US dollar always has a
stable xchange rate and is easily available to peoples outside the US.If you
live outside the US then please exchange local currency int 30 US$.
Exchanging money int $ is cheap, easy and can be done at most banks, post
offices, embassies even super markets. It will all be worth it when you
start receiving thousands of dollars in the mail. Also letters to places
other than your own country, it is a good idea to send them air-mail not by
land, there is not a lot of difference in price for this.


********************POSTING TO NEWSGROUPS*****************
STEP ONE: You do not need to type this entire letter to do your own posting.
Simply put your cursor at the beginning of this letter, drag your cursor to
the bottom of this document, and select 'copy' from the edit menu. Open a
blank 'notepad file' and place the cursor at the top of the document then
select 'paste' from the edit menu. Then delete the first name #1, make the
second name #1 etc., then add your name and address to #6, then save the
file as a .txt file, so you have the file to go back to.



STEP TWO: Using Netscape or Internet Explorer try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards,chat sites, discussion boards,
etc.) One of the largest newsgroups can be found at Yahoo Groups
(http://groups.yahoo.com) and ListBot at (http://listbot.com). Also if you
use Outlook Express and Netscape Messenger you will have access to hundreds
of thousands of newsgroups worldwide. Visit these newsgroups, guestbooks,
message boards etc., and post this article as a new message by highlighting
the text of this letter selecting 'paste' from the edit menu. Fill in the
subject header, try and think of something that a curious person cant resist
from checking, that's it keep posting in the newsgroups, a matter of
seconds. There is a faster way. If you use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook
Express to select newsgroups rapidly. You only need a one time, 'Copy and
Paste' to send to all of them automatically.



******REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST, THE MORE YOU GET*******
You have to post a minimum of 100** and thats it!! You will start receiving
money from around the world in a matter of days! You may want to rent a P.O.
Box due to the large amount of mail you will receive. If you wish to stay
anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postal service will
deliver it.
Get all your work colleagues or schoolfriends involved. Talk it over with
all your friends or simply post it to everyone in your email address book.
Here are some useful links, but remember there are thousands mo
Yahoo Groups http://groups.yahoo.com
Smartgroups http://smartgroups.com
Yahoo Clubs http://clubs.yahoo.com
Listbot Http://www.listbot.com
MSN Communities http://communities.msn.com
Bravenet Forums http://www.bravenet.com
Ezboard http://www.ezboard.com
http://www.finditfortenhere.com get access to 1 million opt-in e-mail
addresses


REMEMBER: This program relies on the honesty and integrity of the people
involved we are in a WIN WIN situation, basically what we are doing is
helping each other get enough money to afford those basic things we desperat
ely want, with a lot more extra.
So you have posted this message on at least 100 newsgroups, you get 5
responds to begin with. Each of the 5 persons sent you $5.00. These 5 people
now make the MINIMUM 100 postings, each with your name at #5 and 5 persons
respond to each of the original 5, that is another $125.00 for you, now
those 25 each make 100 MINIMUM postings with your name at #4 and only 5
replies each, this will bring in an additional $3125.00 and you can see it
just goes on and on and on.
Good Luck everybody this works, I am sorry I have been a skeptic for all
these years and now I am kicking myself for ignoring those e-mails, by now I
could have been very very wealthy.
$30.00/U.S. Currency / 6 envelopes + postage / and a little bit of time to
collect $125,000 in a month.
Why spend another dollar on any lottery?

HERE ONE TO GROW ON: TO EACH AND EVERY PERSON THAT COME ACROSS THESE SIMPLE
INSTRUCTION OF EASY EXTRA DOLLAR'S, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO QUICKLY TAKE
INITIATIVE AND ACTIONS. IT'S ONLY A $30 INVESTMENT THAT WILL GO A LONG WAY
TO BENEFIT YOU AND EVERYBODY ELSE THAT LINKS ON TO THIS MONEY CHAIN. BE
SMART! THEY SAY "HIGH RISK BIG REWARD" IN THIS CASE "SMALL RISK GIANT
REWARD". THERE IS NO WORST CASE SCENARIO AT THE LEAST ONCE YOU INVEST YOUR
$30 THE ODDS IS IN YOUR FAVORITE THAT YOU WILL HAVE THAT $30 PLUS MORE
COMING BACK AT YOU IN A DAY OR TWO GUARANTEED!!!

Hi Flemming,

If you have Wireless LAN (WiFi or WLAN) built-in in your new laptop, you
could expand your PocketPC with a Wireless LAN adapter (they exist for
both SDIO and CompactFlash), and use the Windows XP built-in function,
called Remote Desktop (Please note, that I have no idea if this is
supported on the Home edition of Windows XP - Could someone confirm
this?) and connect to the laptop from the PocketPC, using only native
Microsoft software instead of using ie. VNC or the likes of it.

Remote Desktop does the same thing as VNC - it brings your Windows XP to
another computer (pocket pc, desktop or laptop pc, etc.) and it works
like a dream! I'd suggest this solution for you. The Wireless LAN
adapter for your PocketPC is priced around 1.000-1.400,- d.kr. and
should be accessible at most larger tech stores.

I'd be happy to help more, so if you feel for it, drop me a mail. I live
in Greve south of Copenhagen, so the language should not be a big issue )

Hi Casper,

'Funny route' for communication between two Danes being less than 50
kilometers from each other - having another mother tongue ... An example of
'Globalization'?

Thank you for your proposal, Casper. As of now, I'm using XP Home on my
notebook, which does not include the Remote Desktop facility. That is,
however not the main issuse. I was trying to learn from experiences from
other sailors how the system actually worked for them. What software?...,
what about the screen format?..., light conditions?..., etc. During this
'learning proces', I received a lot of useful input, and consequently, I
abandoned the idea of using my PPC as a 'controller', and decided to install
a second monitor to my notebook - viewable from the helm - behind a 'solid
window of glass' in a steel frame mounted in the cockpit beneath the
entrance to the 'downstairs' (kahyt). In this way, I can use all my
different PC applications and control the applications via a wireless mouse,
which is the only item in the system exposed to 'the hostile environment for
electronic equipment' in the cockpit ... I think this investment equals the
cost of upgrading from XP Home til XP Pro and establish the wireless LAN
.... But I'm still anxious to learn how to control the level of light
emission from the monitor - and learn how the visibility of the charts is in
daylight conditions, when the monitor is behind a 'windowglass'. Without
'the window' it is acceptable, but not good ... otherwise it seems to be
working very nice ... And finally, the question of 'energy consumption' -
I'm not sure for how many hours, my batteries can keep a 220V notebook and
monitor, plus 'the rest' running without recharging ...

In order to learn more about your experince using the PPC, I will get back
to you in Danish ... Thank you!
