Escapees to Escapade
Next Sunday, May 24, begins the annual gathering of the Escapees club, called the Escapade – in Sedalia, Missouri. If you’re going, stop by the Geeks on Tour booth and say Hi! We hope you also take in one of our seminars, High Speed Internet on Tuesday May 26 at 8:30am or Managing Digital Photos with Picasa on Wednesday May 27 at 1pm. The Escapades are known for their emphasis on seminars, next week’s event has over 80 sessions scheduled.
In case you don’t know about the Escapees, it is an organization of RVers that was formed by Kay and Joe Peterson in 1978. It has grown to over 32,000 members and is probably best known for it’s mail-forwarding service at its headquarters in Livingston, Texas. If you ever see an RVer’s address shown as Livingston, TX, odds are that they are a fulltimer, an Escapees member, and use the Livingston address as their legal residence. Texas is one of the states with no income tax and is a desirable home base.
Hope to see you in Sedalia!
Chris and Jim Guld, Geeks on Tour

Sorry I don’t think we can make the escapades this time. However I need geek help on high speed internet, satellite TV, Cell Phones. What I would like is to get all from the same company. Since I don’t full time I would like to be able to use from my home base also. Any such company? Thanks for any suggestions.

Jim,
I would be surprised if you can get all those needs met by one company, but it is possible, depending on where your home base is. So, the first thing to do is to check with your local providers. For example, if you’re in a Verizon FIOS area, they do have ‘triple-play’ options … Phone, Internet, TV. I don’t know if that can also include cellular.
Many people are finding that they don’t need a land line for phone or Internet. They use a Cellular phone and data card for Internet both at home and on the road, but that still leaves satellite TV as a separate issue. Some phone companies have billing arrangements with Dish TV, so, even though it’s different companies – it’s all on one bill.
