Campground Computer Heroes! What fun! We're actually living up to our name here. The person parked in the next site is excited that he has Wi-Fi access from our Satellite Dish. He's been going thru eBay withdrawals - he's all better now. And the folks several sites down got to talking with us last night about how their computer's hard drive crashed. They were able to get another one installed, but it is completely blank and therefore does them no good. They really miss using it for their GPS and mapping software that helps them get to where they're going. They had their CD with the XP operating system on it, but, unfortunately, they did not have the laptop's recovery CD with all the drivers and software on it. Hey, no problem! Jim brought their computer to our motorhome and hooked it up to the Internet so he could download all the drivers they needed. Then he installed the GPS software and left them with a computer that said, "OK, go a 5 miles down Highway 50, then take a left on 96 ...." Pretty cool. It's such a pleasant place, we're going to stay here another night.
