In the Atlanta area we use the Supra lock box system. I use, the now antiquated, Treo 650 so I never forget my phone, camera or lock box key. The Palm and Blackberry products (with the help of a key fob) will open Supra boxes and release the shackle.

I was at a tech fair we had back in the Summer and spoke with someone from Supra and they said an iPhone application was in the works. With great difficulty I got through to someone at Supra to check on the status. They said they have heard that it is being worked on. Can one of you tech gurus out there please make yourself a million dollars and develop something. I want to hear "there is an app for that"!!

I have been seeing many folks are adding photographic banner as part of thier AR posts and personal pages. How do you do that? And are you using art work from your websites or is there some kind of theme you can choose this stuff from?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you live in the Roswell area you know that there is a lot of history here. Settled by Roswell King and others during the ending days of the Cherokee Nation and the height of the first GOLD Rush. There was actually at US Mint in Dahlonega for awhile. Invaded during the "War Between the State". (That's what we call the Civil War down here.) All the way up to its links to the Roosevelt presidential family. Well local historians are still researching our history and continue to bring it to life with lectures and at the many historic sights in the area.

The Roswell Beacon had an interesting article about a local history buff/former policeman. Follow this link to some myths and misconceptions about Roswell and its history.
