I wonder if the nice fella we met last year will be back...? the guy who brought his wife out as a treat for a nice quiet anniversary present! Doh!

Well...apparently, there are many shades of grey when it comes to borrowing. It's not an easy definition to nail down for some. dead easy... Definition: Search the web, right click on a pic you like, click 'Save picture as' and publish as your own... That's borrowing isn't it?

absolutely... as a student I forgot to...uh... tuck my self away properly... and got spanked by the canopy. Had to ride the fucker down with a buckle in a really bad place... didn't walk straight for hours!

Anyone can fuck up... Just don't fuck up twice.

I've had it a few times over the last week or so... Close the browser, wait a few minutes and come back - it generally works for me. Edit: The main forums page, home page, gear page all work fine for me... it's just the jump to individual forums.

some riggers in the UK use 'em, and some don't. It's not required over here, but it is useful if you're taking your rig abroad...

Dude! You could eat the next morning???! [shudder] You obviously weren't trying hard enough the night before! Edit: cpoxon - good post. It'll be interesting to see if anyone takes notice of it...

I second what Zee said! It's great that you're so enthusiastic, but you've got ages to skydive... Take some time to jump and talk to people at DZs who do make a living from it... try and get their advice. If it was that easy and that lucrative, we'd all be doing it! It's worth remembering (In the UK anyway) that to do any instructing you need at least 2 years in the sport... I don't know about any the regulations in any other country... good luck dude!

[wracking brain] there used to be with earlier versions of windows I think... some combination of shift and the arrow keys maybe, but you have to have it enabled in the control panel - Edit: Are you using a laptop? Mouse keys need the full numeric keys I think... Edit: Some people find that SP2 removes their USB drivers... update all your drivers before putting SP2 on...
-
were all the mice you tried USB? If so, try a reboot with a PS2 mouse - maybe your USB ports have been blocked / disabled... ?
