RE: Brighter interior light bulbs???
Since we boondock most of the time anything I can do to extend the batteries is helpful. I went through and pulled 1 of the 2 bulbs out of each fixture, which helped. But I really wanted more light so I started looking at LEDs as way to save power and increase the light. For the most part what I found was the lumen of the LED lights was reduced to much to be helpful (I haven't checked all of them). After a lot of comparison and doing some cost benefit consideration I ruled out the LED, the Fluorescent ones are about the best way to go or just add more battery power and use what you have.
As somebody already mentioned though, if the trailer lights are dim there maybe other factors that are not bulb related.

RE: Best for storing photos?
OP... I would be more inclined to trust a CD/DVD then one of the small USB memory sticks, with that said I've never had a memory stick fail but I do know others that have. When I burn my photos to a DVD I burn 2 copies, test them both on the burning machine and one other to verify the data is complete. I also back up everything to an external HD (Time Machine). One of the DVDs is stored in our safe deposit box. I also copy my entire photo folder to another computer about 4 times a year. Overkill? Probably, but better safe they sorry.

RE: Copilot 11
I've used Streets & Trips, Street Atlas and tried Co-Pilot. Of the three I found using Co-Pilot to be the most difficult to use and to learn. I'm glad that I bought a version that was about to be replaced and thus was only about $30. I would like to have had the low clearance information, but I prefer using Street Atlas for my routing.

RE: Smooth ride
Capt, my wife has been having some issues too. Still riding but I'm concerned that she may opt to sit out if we find any relation to her shoulders and the ATVs. Last trip out I mentioned the idea of a RZR (ok I'll admit I would enjoy it too). I think the setup can be such to allow for the best off road ride and sitting low enough so that you don't risk a roll over. The newer ones are a bit wider and probably more stable for her too.

RE: Mac database
I like Open Office for a lot of things, however not for a Database. For the Mac the best one out there is Bento by FileMaker it runs $49. I suppose you can give the OO free one a try, but I think Bento is the way to go personally.

RE: Memory cards & off brand batteries
If you are a Costco member, check with them on pricing for the cards. I was able to pick up a SanDisk Extreme III for a great price for my Canon.

RE: Extreme RV warranty work???
Unless you have any type of extended warranty you are now on your own. The good news is now any dealer can help you out, the bad news is you're going to foot the bill for any work.

RE: Permits for Utah and Colorado
EDS_5_OH - I emailed the Utah ATV folks last week to see if my kids would need a hands on course before going again. Since we rode in 2007 and took the written test I assumed they would need to test again. However I was told that all I needed to do was to tell them the dates we were going, send $10/child along with the forum and they would issue a temporary permit. So though I couldn't find any information on the out of state testing for youth, it appears that is still an option. This requires only the written test for out of state visitors/riders, not the hands on. I'd give them a call at 1-800-648-7433, ext. 2 to verify things - nice folks to deal with I've found.

RE: Selling Weekend Warrior
This link may help, it should take you to the NADA page for your WW. However what they state may not be any good with the economy the way it is. You may need to go to a dealer to see what they would give you too.

RE: Rear-ender - Right in the hitch
Dave all the above posts are great, however, they miss the opportunity. This is the perfect time for a new truck. The old one is now damaged goods, safety has been compromised and its reputation tarnished. If your wife won't go for it, then knock out the tail lights... that should do the trick!

RE: Input on Newmar X-aire?
sofar-sogood, the reality is that very few of them have been talked about here. However if you broaden your reading into the other forums some I think you will find that Newmar has a very good reputation for quality (at a price) for their RVs. Good luck in your search!

RE: Permits for Utah and Colorado
We went to Utah in 2007, unless it has changed since then, the only thing the kids must do is to take the written test which will allow you to ride for 30 days. When I spoke with the nice folks at their testing office and asked about the hands on course I was told that if my kids had taken the ATV Safety Institute course and the written course I could petition to have the ride certificate made permanent as if we took the hands on in Utah. Fair enough I figure. For that trip we just did the written course.
As for the under age 7 issue, well I agree with the frustration there. Alas its their State rules. I will still commend the State for doing something as far as training, its better then doing nothing.

RE: New iMac computer
You actually don't need any software or fancy cables, the Mac makes it easy. You'll find the complete link to this information Switch 101: Migrate Your Files or your Windows System
Direct connect
To move files by connecting your Mac directly to your PC:
1. Connect your Mac to your PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
2. Make sure that both computers are turned on.
3. In the Finder on your Mac, choose Connect to Server from the Go menu to open the window.
4. Type your PC's network address in the Server Address text box using one of these formats:
* smb://DNSname/ShareName
* smb://IPaddress/ShareName
5. Click Connect.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions to enter your PC's workgroup name, user name, password, and the volume or folder you wish to access.
7. Your PC volume should appear on your Mac Desktop.
8. Open the volume and drag and drop files directly from it to anywhere on your Mac.
9. When finished, drag your PC volume to the Trash to unmount it.

RE: New iMac computer
Norm, Congrats on going Mac. Give it some time for it to totally feel comfortable, its going to take a bit of time to unlearn some habits from your Windows experience. If you run into issues ask for help, I went through some of the same frustrations at first. I made the choice not to install any Windows on my Mac for awhile, forcing me to learn quicker. Now all I use Windows for is a couple games and GPS software.
As for opening Word documents. I've installed Open Office and it automatically opens all Word/Excel documents, it won't save in the new format but I can save them in another format after opening.
Good luck & enjoy!

RE: New Years!!!
Well, either you don't want me to go to Oregon with you or the weather really is that bad. . . ;) LOL... Let me put it this way, if I lived in Cali still I wouldn't make the drive to the Oregon Dunes in December :) But living in Washington I'm not going to make the drive to Cali in December either...and since I'm a Duck I'm used to rain already.
