The Gila National Forest wants all our visitors to have a safe and enjoyable time while visiting the forest. The Gila National Forest is 3.3 million acres with numerous entry and exit points, and most of it has very limited cell service. With hunting season less than a month away we want to remind you of a few important safety tips.
- If possible, travel with a companion. Leave a copy of your itinerary with a responsible person that you know. Include details such as make, model, year, and license plate of your vehicle and when you plan to return. Be specific about where you are going to be with a starting point and an ending point.
- Wear appropriate clothing for the season and be aware that the Gila NF ranges from 4,200 - 10,900 feet in elevation.
- Bring enough water for your trip. Water is never a guarantee in the high desert ecosystem that compiles the Gila NF.
- Learn basic first aid so that you know how to identify and treat injuries, and illnesses. Carry a first aid trip.
We always hope for the best, but in the event someone you know is missing these are the steps to take:
- Call the New Mexico State Police Dispatch. That number is 575-382-2500. All search and rescue incidents in New Mexico are coordinated by the NM State Police.
- Know the starting point of their itinerary, the make, model, year and license plate of their vehicle.
- If you know of any pre-existing medical problems, please inform the dispatcher.

New computers being released to be ready for back to school and the fall season. MSI released 2 new families of laptops this week with 10th generation i7's and batteries sufficient to operate them for up to 16 hours. I am kind of wondering if that is a typo and tomorrow they will say 6 hours or even 10 hours. So many new models have been announced in the last couple weeks; but, I confess that this release by MSI is the first that really caught my attention.
I have been hop
ing to see something special in new machines. Lately, all of the new releases have been boring because they include small evolutionary improvements instead of revolutionary improvements of a nature that could make me want to go out and buy a new computer. Generation 9 of Intel processors brought new smaller footprints (for the chip itself) but the package was still the same size and they used a little less current (reflected in lower heat production) so we could choose slightly faster chips for laptops or build slightly smaller laptops.
The new MSI Prestige series laptops come with a video card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650), up to 32gb of RAM, 1tb m.2 nvme SS storage, no LAN port, no DVD and some of the latest USB ports to get ultra-thin and ultra-light and a cooling system intended to allow gaming or CAD/CAM without the risk of overheating and enough battery to be productive for up to 16 hours. They are supposed to show up at retailers by September 9. I am still trying to imagine a 15" screen that provides 4k resolution. Oh, did I mention that this 15" laptop weighs a delightful 3.5lbs?
If this is just the first hint of what we will have for the winter buying season, I might finally get excited about new machines again.
Benediktson Computer, Inc. would be delighted to configure and customize one of these for your portable computer needs, please contact us at (575) 956-9723 or email to
