  1. MSN Messenger, the problem might be with that though. Since everyone uses this these days, I still miss good old ICQ (although that doesn't have webcam possibilities I think)
  2. Must be Mac, because he said nothing about crashing. I know my computer crashes after about 10 minutes of webconferencing using my Logitech Webcam Iwan
  3. We have nothing against the Cessna, it's cool to go back to the "old days" but it's just more fun when there's a Turbine around that carries a lot more jumpers, so you can make more than 3 jumps a day maximum I love the 206 no matter what. Iwan
  4. There is no off landing possible, unless "a certain someone" spots the load Just kidding of course, but it is HUUUGE
  5. I wouldn't count on the lil fishy being here...sure would be nice tho. The numbers have increased once again.....wow! Bring on the pain! BB He might be there, I talked him and Pop into it last week at the nuthouse. They are getting on the road and come over for a couple of days.. keep your fingers crossed though. Iwan
  6. No you want to go lay around in the water or race around on a windsurf board... get ready for COLD!! I think you need the skydiver lovin' Iwan
  7. Allright, I am in. Who else is coming: vdschoor jsaxton hookitt (??) I start to like these lists.. he he.. Iwan
  8. True, and the only way you can get them is by showing that you have earned them when you go to the PX (or whatever it is called on a military base) to buy extra ones for your uniform. My cousin is in the Army and has been to Airborne school and took great pride in this, it might not be as hard as bootcamp, but it is a major achievement. One of his sergeants gave me his wings because I was a skydiver as well and related to one of his troops. The ones he gave me were actually special combat airborne wings (meaning he was in a combat situation while beeing in an airborne unit) I am proud I have them, but I will never in my life wear them, as I have not deserved them the way they are supposed to be deserved.

    cute kittens

    Hmm when they are kittens, they accept this stuff.. later on they claw the dog and all hell breaks loose in the house...
  10. It sounds like you need a snuggle buddy too!! Just jump a lot and pack yourself, that'll warm you up fast enough! Iwan
  11. Are you saying we need under armour for the first couple of jumps of the day? 67 is fine with me, that's t-shirt weather. Iwan
  12. I know, you are Byron JP, I meant Perris JP (formerly known as Davis JP) We won't tell on you...
  13. Uh oh.. JP you're in deep shit now.. It's not Vic, it's Connie.. Iwan
  14. CanuckInUSA: 500 vdschoor: 500 alanab: 100 Sunshine: 800 (maybe)
  15. Why don't we start a list? CanuckInUSA: 500 vdschoor: 500
  16. I hope that your kidding and not just an ass I know lots of guitar players that can play anything that they hear and never bother with reading music or tablature.. Music is music My grandpa still can't read music, but is one of the best organ players around where he lives (and trust me.. there's enough of them there) He askes people what they want him to play, and he listens to a tape or CD with the music, and he knows how to play it...

    Rigless

    That's what I said to jsaxton right? You'll get over it once you put your Wings on... Just kidding, it's far from a piece of shit.. It's was very nice and comfortable rig, but I was ready for an upgrade.. I hope the guy is going to be happy with it. Iwan
  18. I would use Microsoft Access for those kind of things. You can always cut and paste parts of the data into Excel later, I don't know what you need to do with the data, but query-ing and those kind of things are a lot easier (I think) in Access. Although Excel has quite a few functions for that sort of stuff as well. Iwan

    Rigless

    I know the feeling.. I left my "old buddy" with ChopChop on Friday night.. The rig has saved my life for over 300 jumps, but it is time to move on.. Don't be too emotional, you're upgrading to a Wings... you'll forget about that old container in no time
  20. If you have Win 2000, go with Nero definitely one of the best burning software out there... Iwan
  21. That is how a camera guy went in a couple of years ago, got on the plane without wearing his rig. My procedure is that I don't touch my camera helmet untill all my necessary equipment is good to go, rig on, alti on, dytter set, wings attached etc. Then I go for the camera helmet. Instead of jumping in my rig at the 5 minute call, I start putting the stuff on at 15 mins, so I have time to check everything. Iwan
  22. Dude.. good luck, you'll pull this one off.. The only thing that worked for me was chewing gum! (or candy.. ) Iwan
