I have a trip to the South Pacific coming up, and I’ve booked a 2 night 3 day dive trip out on a boat over the Great Barrier Reef. My last dive will be about 3pm on the day before I’m flying back to the US. My flight leaves at 6am, so I’ll have been 15 hours. Do you think that’ll be fine? I just want to make sure my head won’t explode or something, LOL!! Thanks in advance!!

please tell me what you think
Morning folks,
I’m setting up a wireless keyboard/mouse combo so that I can surf and game from my armchair (back injury, not just lazy ). So far I’ve got in my shopping basket:
Logitech LX710 wireless keyboard/laser mouse,
a 5m vga monitor replacement cable to go from PC to TV for vision,
a dvi male to vga female cable for audio,
and I’m just thinking I probably need something like a USB extension cable because the armchair is about 15ft away from the computer and won’t have a direct line of sight.
Does anyone know what sort of USB cable I’ll need? I’m confused between USB and USB 2.0 and between USB device cable and USB extension cable! The USB ports on the PC (an HP Pavillion, couple of years old) are saying USB 2.0 so I assume I need something that says USB 2.0 but it was the difference between device cable and extension cable that was confusing me. Basically I need something I can plug into one of the USB ports and shove under the sofa or wherever so that the keyboard/mouse can pick up the signal.
Any thoughts? Also, for this setup is there anything else I’m missing? I know the graphics card in the PC will support the twin monitors and the tv already has a PC channel ready and waiting but I may be missing something. Any help gratefully received!
Now i have been going back and forth to the Verizon store to check both the Omnia and Storm out. I have the LG Dare as of now and im looking to trade it back in to get a PDA cause it just really isn’t cutting it.I went into the Verizon store and some of the “specialists” couldn’t even answer some of my questions which is kind of pathetic, they told me to “look it up”, go figure! So i am turning to the users opinions. Now keeping price out of it, this is what im looking for. I want a phone that can take good pictures and does well with video. I also text a lot so i want a phone that is easiest to text on (i find both about the same, but i want users opinions on what they think) and has fewest mistakes. I need to access the internet a lot and i do a lot with e-mail as well, especially yahoo. So i want the phone that is easiest to surf, scroll around and clicking. Having that said i would like a phone that had a flash player so i could watch videos on the internet OTHER THAN freak-in you tube.. The people at Verizon had no idea what i was talking about so that’s why im asking you guys! I want the phone that is easiest to upload and play music; i also want the one with the best speaker on it, that has the clearest and sharpest sound especially when i am on you tube or watching videos, i hate when the audio is really choppy and muffled.(i don’t know if that’s with all phones). Easiest phone to add edit and play with word docs, PowerPoint, and excel because i am a college student and i want to be able to access and play with file if i need to. I want the phone that is easiest to put ring tones on and/or uploading pictures. For instance, sending ring tones through e-mail or text messages. I want the phone that is most expandable. I want the phone that has the most extra applications that you can download off the internet (like widgets and stuff). I also would like the phone with the biggest and brightness display. And lastly i want the phone that is most customizable. Like home screen and what not. AHHH with all that said. PLEASE HELP! ALL opinions accepted!!!!!!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
Okay, so i recently bought the 80 gb PS3 with the motorstom game in it, and it also came with surf’s up and madden 07.
I have been having trouble with my ps3 , (i only opened it 2 days ago) it doesent have any audio on my hdtv, and it doesent even work on any other tv’s, i am wondering if i exchange it, will i get the 2 new games that are on the Boxing day sale, Untold Legends, and Virtua Fighter 5 and a blueray remote, by returning Madden 07 and Surf’s up? Madden 07, is sealed, but Surf’s up is opened.. i have all the original packaging, for the ps3, (motorstom is opened, though)
