Show Synopsis Boats, Boats, Boats - Need to find that perfect fishing boat to snag your favorite catch or how about a deck boat for spending the day on the big lake tubing, how about a ski/wakeboard boat or a ocean going cabin cruiser, or maybe a pontoon party boat for a lazy ride and bbq on the lake -- How has technology improved boating and where are we going in the future. Here in New Hampshire we have 18 miles of coastline and 1,300 lakes and ponds that provide recreation throughout the state and through every one of our seasons. You can set sail on one of our many inland waterways, or jump the wake of a powerboat on skis, wakeboard or a tube or sit back cruise the ocean on a whale watch. Test your limits at sport fishing or soak in the sun on a sandy beach. Canoe or tube down a lazily flowing river-or pull on some waders and cast your line for an elusive brookie or largemouth bass. There are many activities available and today we will discuss quite a few.

Tech Tip Of The Week You upgraded your record collection to CD's and your Beta movie collection to Beta (OK, maybe that wasn't an upgrade). Now you've got DVDs. What's next? How about hundreds of times increased capacity? For more information	Security Tech Tip Of The Week Do you have a Credit Card -- You probably have had your information compromised due to hacker code that was in place at CardSystems Solutions Inc., which is responsible for the processing of credit card and other payments for banks and merchants. All brands of credit cards could be affected and not to worry -- it only involved 62 MILLION accounts. 40 Million MasterCard branded cards and 22 Million Visa branded cards. So you may not have been affected -- Not Likely...

It's a glimpse at the future -- a highway that combines traditionally free lanes with toll lanes to give drivers an option when the traffic gets bad. It is, at once, a solution for easing the worst traffic congestion, raising money for cash-starved roads and a big step toward bringing more timesaving, high-technology tools to daily driving. The difference from old tolls? The new system combines the latest technologies with good, old capitalism -- putting a price tag on a bit of uncongested roadway. San Diego's version nudges drivers to car pools and to mass transit, with part of its revenues going for high-speed buses that designers promise will outperform trains. · FCC Speeds Up Digital TV Signal Deadlines - Federal regulators on Thursday moved up the deadlines for manufacturers to make popular, mid-sized television sets capable of receiving digital signals.
