Looking for laptop to borrow

[chrisaggie]

I am doing some research in Big Cypress National Preserve. I am trying to capture some video at night using an infrared webcam. I am planning on halling all my equipment out for a weekend to do this, including a car battery and power inverter. Unfortunately I do not have a laptop to use. Does anyone have one I could borrow in two weekends? I'll be happy to donate frags, etc for it's use. Also, does anyone know of web cam software that will record 1 hour+ videos? Thank guys.

can it be a used one? or it has to be new in a box ?

 

[chrisaggie]

used is great!

I had a couple leads, but they fell though. I am still looking for a laptop to borrow for Saturday. If anyone has one to loan me I would be very grateful. An older laptop is fine as the software I need to run can't run on windows vista anyway.

Going to bump this one more time. No one has a beat up old laptop laying around?

Chris, I will let you use mine as long as you don't run into bears.

 

[chrisaggie]

Is this your new mac? I would hate to take a brand new computer out there.

I want to give a big thanks you to Rogger! He really came through for me and let me borrow his camcorder which has night vision. With a lot of luck I could get the footage I'm looking for. Thanks again Rogger!!!

You'r welcome Chris, Make sure you mention my name in the National Geographic report, "technical support"

Well, after weeks of planning I got out to the location and the ghost orchids I was planning on filming were still a few days from being open.

You planning another voyage? I can help you out with power.
I have a Xantrex Pocket power 100. It's an 80W inverter, with a battery pack. It'll recharge my dell laptop 2 times (while off) or run it for an extra few hours. It also has a lighter adapter to charge from, or to use inverter.

I'd loan ya my laptop, but it's not mine - it's the company's!
I also have a 140W Curtis inverter if needed. I have some alarm batteries I've used with it, as well.
