If you have Windows Vista or 7, you just use the built in DVDMaker. If XP, then go back to the page where you downloaded Photo Story from Microsoft and you'll see a link to buy a $20 add-in. Yes.

]]> Comment on Tethered Cell Phones for Internet by Jane Dean http://wifisavvy.com/2008/12/08/tethered-cell-phones-for-internet/comment-page-1/#comment-3970 Jane Dean Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:01:28 +0000 http://www.wifisavvy.com/?p=240#comment-3970 We recently changed to a MAC computer and we have a Blackberry Storm phone with Verison set up to tether. I would not recommend this combination to anyone. The verison software and the mac do not get along. We have scoured the internet for a solution and have found some but have not been able to make any of them work. My geeky son says it it because the mac and the phone are fighting over control of the usb port. We may just change phones to a droid and tether with pda net as I am tired of rebooting my computer to get it to connect with a phone. Just thought I'd let you know this issue so as you travel and talk to people who have macs you'll know this is a problem. Thanks for all the great info on your site. I am just beginging to cruise through it. We recently changed to a MAC computer and we have a Blackberry Storm phone with Verison set up to tether. I would not recommend this combination to anyone.

]]> Comment on New Fulltime RVers ask, “How do we Get Internet on the Road” by Don Christensen http://wifisavvy.com/2010/06/27/new-fulltime-rvers-ask-how-do-we-get-internet-on-the-road/comment-page-1/#comment-3950 Don Christensen Wed, 07 Jul 2010 23:40:37 +0000 http://wifisavvy.com/2010/06/27/new-fulltime-rvers-ask-how-do-we-get-internet-on-the-road/#comment-3950 Nice, short and succinct explanation. I was hoping for some easy fix. But . . . Spent the last five days dry camping on some private property just off US40 and about 12 miles from Duchesne, UT. My iPhone would show 5 bars until I clicked on the app to check email or log into Facebook. Then is was one or maybe two bars or worse NO SERVICE. Another of the guests got out his laptop thinking he'd find a wifi hot spot and be able to get on the internet. Nothing for him either. So, those of us who were camping began to wonder how we might get internet access. I think some of the nearby properties had either burried cable or telephone. Not sure. That might be an option for this location. Anyway, thanks for the info. Nice, short and succinct explanation. I was hoping for some easy fix. But . . .

I have a Droid + a GPS. The Droid did not work in some areas due to lack of towers. Other than that it was a dream. I have the APP Geodelic which I adore. It shows you everything around wherever you are. You can take my stove, refer, DW, etc. away but don't take my Droid. I just finished driving Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica, CA.

Is there prospect of access through other providers, specifically Verizon, which appears to have the widest availability. The i-Pad internet connection is currently through ATT.

IT'S A REMINDER THAT APPLE IS NOT A DEMOCACY, MORE LIKE A BEGIGN PLUTOCRACY WITH A NEO-FACIST TINT. YES I WILL BUY THE 3G 32 WHEN I GET AROUND TO IT. PS I HAVE AN IMAC 27.

So for me an RV'er I will be able to use it wherever AT&T has a cell signal. Unlimited access for only $30 a month, no contract, stop and start at will. This makes the iPad even more desirable for me. I had an iTouch and believe me this in not just a big iTouch. The new iPad apps are so much richer and more useful. Netflix streamed to you anytime anywhere -- incredible. Bye bye laptop, iPad just replaced you. I just bought the iPad 3G.
