Just thought I'd introduce myself. I've been lurking for about 2 weeks and am thrilled to have found your little corner of the internet. There is so much info here (and friendship). I did my first 1st jump 10 years ago SL and loved it, but got really busy with work etc. Well life has a way of playing with you when you least expect it. In January I applied for a job in which Skydiving is a definite asset, so on Feb.15th 2003 (the day the DZ opened), I got back into a 182 and jumped (SL) again. I still loved it (except it was -35C on the ground without windchill) and did 2 more the next day. I'm currently at 12 jumps and starting stage #3 (20 second FFs, I don't know how that stacks up against your student training programs). I find out on June 26th if I got the job, but even if I don't, I'm happy that it made me get off my ass and back into the air. Personal Info - Single Male 39 (never married and no kids) Live just north of Toronto Ontario Canada Would love to visit some of the DZ's where the weather is warm. Need to change my Mickey Mouse (tm) Avatar, but the camera keeps breaking (Besides I look really cool in those student coveralls (the "escaped convict orange") and of course those really comfortable student rigs Lou Lou ___________________________________ . . . now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb - Dark Helmet

Congratulations !!! I must say though that i'm a little jealous. I started junping Feb 15 2003 and i've only managed 12 jumps so far. (Winter in Canada is unpredictable to say the least) Any way a little know fact is that besides great beer, we also have lots of PIE.

Startech has a couple of "Silent" Power Supplies http://www.startech.com/ststore/itemdetail.cfm?ProductID=ATXPOW300SL&topbar=topbarp.htm The also have a line of "quiet" case fans and cpu coolers. I've tried their product before and it's pretty decent. I don't have any affiliation with them so this isn't an ad for them. Hope this helps.

As a new Student ( 12 jumps) I have a saphire that I'm currently using as my altimeter. I've been doing my homework on audibles and all things being equal would choose the Neptune. My question is regarding recording data while under the canopy. Does the ProTrack stop recording once the canopy opens? Will the Neptune record canopy flight data?
