What was the problem, I did not understand.

The .Net Framework is basically Microsoft's newer environment. It should be part of XP, assuming you've kept somewhat up to date on patches and service packs.
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
The start/stop button - press this the moment you start a run and the moment you finish a run. If you want to stop the timing during the run, say as you cross a street, you can press this again as you stop and start. I use autopause instead. The lap button - press this and hold it down until the device counts down from 3 - 2 - 1. This will clear the activity so that you cannot accidentally add more data to a given run, say as you walk to your car. The data will still be there when you upload to motionbased, or whatever. Autopause - this is under training options. You can set your device to stop timing when it senses that you are not moving. Make sure that you have this turned OFF during a race or it will stop counting when you bend down to tie your shoes. The race clock will keep counting and so you will have different times.

You'll ruin your knees!

so, what do I do now?
I've got a fever...
I find the HRM is very helpful in training, to make sure that I keep my exertion high during tempo work, and low during easy work (since it is easy to do the wrong thing). I figure that I would rather have the HRM now than decide later that I want one, and have to buy the whole thing over again..
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Why is it sideways?
Ah February of 2007. The novelty eventually wore off and I think I've used my Garmin 4 times since September.
