Funny you'd have a problem running Quicktime on a Mac since it is Apple software. I agree with VLC, it will pretty much play everything. Win 7 is the schnitzel, and I've had all them all since Windows 2.1 running on a IBM 8086. I was running DOS as an OS before that. Anyone remember . . . c:/dir NickD

I'm putting out my opinion. I'm not here to school you . . . NickD

I lived in that trailer long before those guys. Those prints were partially hidden behind a built in couch and we found them when Anne and I were remodeling. That trailer was originally in the Elsinore Ghetto and it moved to Perris (along with a bunch of others) when the first big flood happened . . . NickD

It turned out my source had it wrong. The "Jeb thing in Singapore" was a mass jump from some hotel there, but I don't know if Jeb was there, or if it came off. I've been somewhat acquainted with Jeb pretty much since he came on the scene and although he comes off like a glory hound I don't believe he really is. At least not in the same vein as Felix Baumgartner or some of the Redbull(shit) guys. In Jeb's case a certain amount of publicity just makes it easier and more possible to do the things he does. It gets him access. For the average B.A.S.E. jumper publicity can be a problem. If I'm walking down the street after a building jump in the middle of night and a cop grabs me, after I ditched my gear, I can claim ignorance without winding up in cuffs because he saw me on Stunt Junkies or something. I seriously think Jeb wouldn't care if anyone knew his name at all. He uses his fame to jump. Most of the other cats are simply jumping for the fame. And that's the very definition of a glory hound . . . Edited to add: I think the Singapore thing has something to do with this building . . . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtOKNpmIkZM NickD

The earliest posts of mine I can find on rec.skydiving are from 1994. And it wasn't too bad early on. But then it really went to shit. I just looked in on it today and guess what? It hasn't changed at all . . . NickD

Oh, I get it now. But I gotta tell ya, when the World Cup was here in America, (back in the 1994?) I kinda got into it. And I'm sorry to see now Italy is out of it, real sorry! NickD

What? What am I missing? NickD

While some ops do endeavor to "teach" skydiving through tandem (except it doesn't work) most just pretend they do. They might as well bag on that big myth and dress "parachute riders" like this . . . NickD

Start drinking early! Have a good one! NickD

I heard last week the wingsuit landing attempt was on for June 23rd in Singapore. That's today! NickD

He's looking good . . . Say, how many sleds have you got? You must have a standing once a month appointment down at the DMV to keep them all registered! NickD

Nina and I are entered into the “Chopper of the Month” contest over on a website called Club Chopper. The voting is not open yet, just the entry phase, but I don’t want anyone here on DZ.com to vote for me. I often see people come on here with a song, a video, or their kid’s school play from some other website and begging for votes from their fellow jumpers and I think that is cheating. I want to be judged by my biker peers only. I’m just mentioning it here so you can see the completion I’m up against. Plus, all you guys have been in on Nina since day one so you deserve to ride along. But, if you want to register and vote for me over there, there’s nothing I can do about it. But you’ll have to live with your cheating ass self for the rest of your life . . . Like I said voting isn’t open yet, just the entry phase, and it’s here . . . http://www.clubchopper.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84501 NickD

>>I don't know what I been told, Eskimo pussy is mighty cold.

Some years ago after a jump from Yosemite's El Captain my GF and I hitchhiked a ride back to our car after landing. A nice Japanese couple picked us up but we accidentally left the camera we used on the jump in the car when they dropped us off. I'm sure they didn't notice it in the back seat until much later. In the meantime I always wondered what they thought of the photos if they had them developed. There's a website now where people who find lost cameras can post a few pics and reunite these cameras and their owners. I check it every so often thinking, hey, you never know. Well, no luck yet, but I did find these. The note uploaded with the photos read: ""I found a USB drive with photos on it in front of my house. Most of the photos look like the ones I've attached." Anybody know either of these two folks? The website is here: http://ifoundyourcamera.blogspot.com/ NickD

Have a good one! NickD

Here's one I remember from the Marine Corps . . . Me and Superman got in a fight, So I hit him in the head with some Kryptonite. Hit him so hard, I busted his brain, Now, I’m datin’ Lois Lane. I saw Batman and he wanted some too, So I kicked him in the head with my right shoe, Kicked him so hard, I busted my heel, Now I’m drivin’ the Batmobile . . . NickD
