skreamer 1 #2 March 18, 2001 Lisa, welcome to the dark side!Don't you think this should have been posted to the geek thread???You keep talking techno like that and you will have more admirers than Marissa/Skyler can shake a stick at!/sPS RAM is soooo cheap now, you REALLY want to spend a little more $$$ on some extra memory, I just picked up a 256 Mb module for just over $100 - you WILL notice the difference in performance (esp with CD writer). Cool, if you have a DVD drive you can join our little divx circle of rippers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skybytch 273 #3 March 18, 2001 Plannin to double the RAM soon as my other tax money shows up! But compared to the old machine (480mhz, 64 meg o'ram) this one is a screamer so I'm a happy camper for now. pull and flare,lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites OmriMon 0 #4 March 18, 2001 ohh man i need one of those!!!!!!!i'm still stuck with a pentium MMX 200mhz 16meg of RAM, 2meg "video" card, dvd that don't work, CDRW that doesn't work, 33.600 modem, some old fucked up sound card, no speakers (i conected it to my stereo ) and 120meg ledt on my 2gig hard drive!what a peice of junk!well, atleast i bought a 3900$ drum set with "my" spare money Free Skies,Omri Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skreamer 1 #5 March 18, 2001 Well, I've got a PIII 650, 384 Mb of RAM and 45 Gb HDD (30Gb Seagate Barracuda and 15Gb Maxtor). Infrared headphones, scanner, Logitech wheelman mouse, Rio 500 MP3 player, DVD rom (using genie for multiregion use), webcam, Palm III AND we have ADSL. My 2 flatmates and I have networked our flat (including the TV and fridge ) so we can share the ADSL and play quake. This might explain why I don't get out very often...

I'm not having a go or anything, but if you can afford toys that expensive then why aren't you doing AFF already? In January I met a skydiver in South Africa who had just turned 17 and had his C license - ALL paid for by packing.Man, I wish I had had $3 900 *spare* money when I was 16 (or now for that matter).

Frank, packer at Skydance, also started packing when he was 13 - reckons he has over 25 000 pack jobs. I repeat I wasn't having a go at you, just a bit curious about how a 16 year old got that kind of cash (legally).Anyway, good luck with the AFF and just think in 13 years time when you are my age you could have a helluva lot of jumps to your name.

I just took a very extensive 5 hour packing course. Just me and the instructor. The hardest part about it was staying on top of the canopy as you got ready to fold. I know that i was slipping and sliding all over the place. but there are tips and tricks that make it easier. Im looking forward to possibly packing sometime this summer. And considering Im only 5'1 inches tall, some parts of it arent that easy~like seperating the material from in between the D lines. I cant reach that far! lol. but it was a fun learning experience.
