    Default If only...

    If only I could load ArcGIS on my Ipod.... and a GPS implant in my head...

    In civilian life, I worked on school boundary changes. You folks thing war is bad. Try moving a school boundary 300' in an upscale suburban neighborhood. Something about wrath, and a woman scorned. Pure good vs. evil. Old time biblical stuff.

    When I worked on KRG boundaries last year, it was just about love and death...not pure evil (like people who move school boundaries).

    Geography is...

    Default Wow...

    ...that would a hell of a robust iPod...I use a workstation to kick around the big DEM's...torque-y like M-60 . You can download a fairly useable free google gps app for your blackberry however...granted its not as a good as a trimble pro xr, but then I can't call home on the trimble.

    Default Macbook Pro

    Steve:

    Probably not the right commercial for Apple's primary customers, but I've dragged a goosed-up Macbook Pro around for a while. Use ArcGIS (9.2) via Parallels. It runs everything, and, so far, avoids the disasters while letting me do fast and easy graphics interfaces (Photoshop, Illustrator, CAD).

    Working outside the US with civilians is, perhaps, the nastiest environment for bugs and viruses, but my Mac always stays above the fray. After all, who in their right mind would create a virus for Macs (Other than Dr. Evil, or Number 2)?

    Plus, its so damned cute.

    If you have an iPod Touch or an iPhone, go to the App Store, and search for the AGS Touch...Don't know if that will work for you or not, but it's a free app...
