Thoes GPS tags look really cool. Can you give me a link to where i can buy one? or do you have any specific types that you recommend?

I install Live Photo Gallery whenever I set up new computers for people because the photo importer is so useful for keeping them organized. The one built into Vista is ridiculously over simplified and just makes people less organized.

Unfortunately I can't use it because it doesn't work on my machine for no  reason I can figure out. Live Mail doesn't even start up either but that's another thing:)
I think it's time to finally do a fresh OS install.
@alanburchill - do you mean the GPS receiver/logging devices? I will ask Bill and Jeff for the model numbers of their devices....
Yep... and is there anywhere in Australia i can buy it?
Here's a list of GPS Logging devices on Live Products Search to get you started

In Australia I would try Dick Smith Electronics or Tandy. Otherwise buy online from Amazon (for example) and have it shipped to Australia.

On the TV monitor behind everybody, it was displaying the Windows logo, wrapped around by a shutter or some camera thing.

Is there a way I can get a background image of that?

@quikboy - that's the logo for Michael Palermiti's group within Microsoft,.. I think you might be able to find the image on his team blog if you do some digging.... Wink
