    I agree. Whatever e-mail I receive from skydiving related businesses, I don't call it spam. If i'm not interested, i just flush them. Yves.

    Good move Adam. Congratulations! I quit a long time ago, and I think this is the greatest move i've ever made in my life. EDIT: to remove " one of the greatest move" to put instead " the greatest move" Yves.

    1.6 Terabyte

    ypelchat replied to Slappie's topic in The Bonfire

    For a long time, Wal-Mart's corporate offices in Bentonville, AR had the worlds largest datastore. It was well into the Teras back when people were first getting impressed by gigabyte drives. -Blind I remember when i got my first IBM pc. A 64K computer with a 360K 5.25 drive. I just couldn't afford the 5Mb HD then. Loading Lotus 123 took forever........ I am truly amazed at the prices of hard drives these days. I have 540Gb of HD space on my computer, and USB2 and Firewire drives makes it easy to add even more storage space. I just don't back-up to a tape drive anymore. What amazes me even more, is the memory capacity of the small Compact Flash memory cards. 2Gb, widely available, and 16Gb on the drawing board. Yves.

    You'd be surprised Vinny! I'm a big guy too. I've found that the Smart has more legroom than many cars on the market today. You can even bring your rig with you to the DZ! The trunk ( ?? ) is big enough for a rig. Yves.

    I have two Altimaster II, which were manufactured by SSE. Never had a problem with them. Yves.
  15. ypelchat
    If you've had your current altimeter for 30 years, chances are you've got an SSE altimeter.

    Really? So what is this "moose head" that I keep hearing about? It seems to be popular. "humanly" Freudian slip perhaps? Moosehead? Hummmm! Besides, I'm enjoying a Moosehead as i'm writing this! http://www.moosehead.ca/ "humanly" Freudian slips? Not at all. Yves.

    International politics has nothing to do with reason. If we need a rationalization, we'll make one up. Maybe we'll send our environmentalists up there to discuss your mistreatment of your moose population. That would solve two problems. Canadian moose are treated "fairly and humanly"....Wait a minute... you made me think of it... I have moose meat in my freezer somewhere.... Where is it? On a side note: our deer population is growing exponently. In my area, hundreds of deers are hit by cars/trucks every year. The government thinks of allowing the deer hunters the right to kill two deers/hunter, in order to control the deer population growth better. Yves.

    AH Bullshit...you guys have poutinE and that stuff is a WMD Agreed! But poutine is the KEY ingredient to make perfect hybrid jumps. Specially with those skinny american freeflyers! Yves.
  19. ypelchat
    Not Funny! Yeah, and we dont need WMD! Yves.
  20. ypelchat
    Who knows! Maybe you'll find the WMD you were looking for for so long! Yves.

    The human body is a perfect example of how the world should be IMHO: Only one mouth, to speak our mind, but two ears to listen to what others have to say. One ear, on EACH side of the head. It’s no coincidence…..We should listen twice as much as we speak. And we should listen to ideas coming from both sides!

    No. Speakers corner's name for this forum, explains it all. People who speak. Not people who listen. Yves.
