Garmin i3 upgrade of sorts
I will be taking a really long trip pretty soon but found that my Garmin StreetPilot i3 could not fit all the states (as in state travel data) I would be traveling through. The i3 comes stock with a 128MB TransFlash card made by SanDisk. Normally these tiny little cards are meant for cell phone use, but they're also the primary means of data storage on the i3.
Bring back Earl the Cat!
I reloaded the old IBM ThinkPad 390 with Windows 95. Why '95? Because I think '98 sucks. Anyway. I had a really old copy of Microsoft Office 97 "Small Business" Edition lying around (which came with bundled with my Compaq Deskpro 6000 back when it was new). I remembered that you could go download (and still can) different "assistants" directly from Microsoft's download center. So I downloaded all the ones I could find just to check them out.
MS Office's help section sure used to be a lot more entertaining.

Now that I've used my StreetPilot i3 for a little while, I've got a few more things to say about it.

Garmin StreetPilot i3 update
GPSExplorer called me today (as they said they would, very nice of them), and I should have my Garmin StreetPilot i3 on Monday. YES! It took a while but I'll finally be getting it. I was informed it will be shipped out of New York.
